Thursday at the beach

From bucket duty, grueling photo shoots to saving the hermit crab, this mommy has her work cut out for her.

Wed. At the beach pt. 5

After dinner fun.

Wed. at the beach, part 4: Seagulls

Once again, lunch time on the beach means lunch for the seagulls, too. Here we are, joyfully offering up our bread crusts and some leftover salmon from last night's dinner, to our fine feathered friends.

ok fine. I can't upload the photos from the ipad, I'm switching to the phone, see if this works... see ya!

 

Wednesday at the beach, part 3

 

Colby's proud of his sandcastles.

At low tide this morning, we discovered these wonderful tide pools!
We found gobs of these cute little underwater hermit crabs....
...and if you look really close, you can see Mr. Crabby with the big pinchers above.
(we picked up several of the little hermit crabs in shells, but we kept our distance from Mr. Crabby. He was shaking his pinchers at us, quite menacingly, I might add...)
Sam plays in the tide pool.
This is a sand turtle. A turtle made of sand.

The only kind of bath Sam LOVES to take!

 

p.s. having some technical difficulties loading these photos tonight...

Between this app, this quirky ipad, video links that never work, etc, etc, I find technology to be a real test of my patience. but hang in there... I'll eventually get these up! (and this is soooooo much faster than putting together a real paper scrapbook like I used to do, so I shouldn't complain!!) :-)

 

Wed. at the beach: posing for the camera

 

 

 
 
 

Funny thing about wearing a bikini 24/7...it's great and all, but every now & then I hear this "jiggle, jiggle, What's that???!!" and all of a sudden I'm reeeeeallly wanting to go back to the gym.

 

Wednesday (already??) at the beach, part 1

Lots of photos today...this may take awhile, and several separate posts to avoid crashing my ipad, so kick off your flip-flops, pour yourself an icy one, sit back and enjoy the show.... :-)
 
Good morning, Holden Beach!

 

ahhh, raisin bran with a view!

bright-eyed and bushy-tailed kids! ready for action!

"Sam-castles".
