This was Chyler's first time to spend any kind of time at the beach. There were a lot of firsts: she went in the water for the first time and also ate some sand for the first time. I don't know what it is about sand and my kids - they always sit on the beach and think that "Wow, this stuff looks yummy. I think I'll try a handful!" Never fails with every kid. Chyler liked the water when I was carrying her but just hated being put in the floater, thus the crying picture. She has the cutest little swimsuit but I bought it awhile ago and it's 3-6 months and clearly, she needs a larger size.
All the boys love the beach. They can spend all day there. A big part of the fun is playing with sand on the beach. Most of the time you can find them on the sand. Brennen was making "castles", albeit one-story units, for a really long time by himself. He had a small shovel and a small "sand castle thing-a-ma-jigger" (that orange thing) and sat there making mounds all around him. Then, he practiced his baseball throw with some sand. Luckily, there wasn't anyone around to aim at. Austen played with his trucks emulating Bob the Builder for most of the day and then went about shoveling and yelling into the wind for the rest of the time. He is just a free spirit - you notice it a lot with him - he just does what he feels and a lot of times, what he feels is loud and big. On a side note, we noticed with SuperFerry a couple of times that day and on it's second pass, Dallen posed in front of it.
It was a good, L-O-N-G day! One of my favorite parts of the day was watching Brennen chase birds by himself. I think that he is just SO cute! Excuse the wind and the shakes.

Lastly, what happens when you leave your cute, cuddly, clean, and well-dressed baby girl in the hands of her Daddy whose past experience with little girl babies is nil?
She's still cute and cuddly, right?
