A Day at the Beach

We escaped from the valley heat yesterday and went to cool down at Cayucus.
Tana and Christopher played in the water almost non-stop jump roping the waves.
Joshua spent most of his time running back and forth from the ocean to us making him self busy with what ever delighted his fancy.

Andrew finally worked up enough courage of go down to the water after a sufficient amount of persuasion.


As long as Andrew had Christopher to hold on to he was as happy as a lark.


When the excitement down at the water became impossible to resist, Wendy made her way out from under her blanket and down to the waves to dip her toes in and snap a few shots of her own.


Tana and I had a little bit of a mud slinging fight...which, as you can see, I did not win at.
In the end all four kids did their best to cooperate in bringing water to build a castle of sorts. Everyone pitched in to help Tana haul the heavy loads of water, which ended up being more work for her...it was questionable at time as to whether the little ones were actually helping or just there for the ride.



We conclude our escapades with a trip to the local confectioners for some sugary delights before making our way back home...sticky and sandy, tired but happy.
