with sand, waves, 29 degrees celsius and cold cold water. We hiked a boardwalk trail through the marsh in the morning to soak in the sun and the heat, knowing that the wind off the water would be cool. Then we headed to the Plum Island beach for lunch and an afternoon of fun.
L quickly got the hang of playing in the waves, K took a long while. She occupied herself with a large clam shell, using it to toss sand into the water. She eventually got used to the cold and got just as wet as L.
The tide was going out and we noticed that all the water was seeping out of the sand causing rivers to run to the ocean. This gave L senior the idea of making the water change direction, it takes a lot of determination and help to form a prairie river out of sea water desperate to return to the ocean.
There are all kinds of treasures to be found at low tide, the kids found this “boat” for their river.
Yeah, that ocean is something. The sand being washed out from underneath your feet. Also, you can’t forget how sand ends up where you don’t want it and it shouldn’t be. It looks like a fun day full of memories! Last time I was at the ocean with you L junior was a lot smaller than he is now.
