Beach Trip Part 2

For the second half of our beach week, we moved down to the other end of the island to stay with my family and let my mom do all the cooking.

The 4 grandkids all looking at the camera and mostly smiling.  As you can imagine this was a monumental feat.

Carter really loved sitting down in a hole at the beach and getting as sandy as possible.  Anna was more than willing to help out.  Where are Carter's shoes was also a fun game that we played.

A couple of the mornings there were tide pools to play in which made the beach a lot safer for little man.  He enjoyed getting wet and throwing sand, but wasn't really afraid of the waves.  Which meant that we had to be pretty close to him at times.


He did enjoy a good adventure on his one, but mostly stayed nearby.

Nope, that isn't Avery playing with Carter...  Anna had a great time with two kids to play with, 3 if you count Uncle David.



Avery enjoyed having a little more attention and a few less kids running around.  She really liked taking "adult" walks after Carter had gone to bed with Mommy and Daddy on the beach and showing off her dance skills.

 

Madison could really take or leave the beach, but was pretty relaxed the entire time.
 


Aunt Sara bought an inflatable boat that the kids loved to take rides in.  It was exhausting for the parents hauling them in and out of the surf, but Uncle David was there to take a few turns.



Carter really enjoyed the tidal pools in the morning.  He ran around in them for at least an hour, splashing, throwing sand, or just sitting still.
