it was fantastic- a pure delight for this momma to see her three babes and fabulous hubby frolicking in the icy cold water under the warm rays of the sun.
my sweet p was a hoot. she toted buckets and ate sand the entire time. 
e played in the waves and made drip castles.
p might have been trying to dig to china, or locate some buried beach treasure, or maybe she was just looking for sea kelp... whatever she was doing, she sure was enjoying it.
and d? well, she was making sand soup, of course. and chasing after her sister who was waiting for the big wave to come in.
did i mention p toted buckets around all day?
and here is my attempt at getting an adorable family photo. not quite what my eye was hoping to see through the lens of my camera, but it works. it sure is evidence that we had a wonderful time!
i wish for just one moment i could climb inside e's mind as she was sitting cross-legged on the beach. i am certain she was thinking of something that i would cherish, but as she gets older she has become a bit more tight lipped with her thoughts. i guess this is part of her growing older. sigh.
and d- well, she tells me each and every thought that enters into her great big mind. sometimes more than once. here, she's telling me about how she can see her "mirror" in the water. she loved this. she was belly down on the sand wave after wave, watching the sand soak up the water and then dry out again. oh, to be an almost three year old again!
we did lots of other fun stuff, too. we played games and rode rides on the boardwalk, watched sea lions frolic in a marina, had a family slumber party which included some board games- making for a very wonderful and memorable weekend.
what did you do to celebrate labor day?
