Beach Day

A few days ago Abby asked if wanted to go to the beach and I figured the water's only going to be warm for so much longer, so why not!? Turns out it was a wonderful idea! Joli is very into helping with the babies right now. She thought she should show Lilly how to put sand on herself.
Joli hasn't quite learned to concept of gentle hugs though. Last week she was just about body slamming Charlotte and Charlotte would just smile with a slightly startled looked on her face. We'll keep practicing.
Joli was very concerned that Lilly might crawl off somewhere. She kept getting in front of her and saying "No, no Lilly, stop".
Syrus was having a good time when we first got there but then I think he started to get a little tired. He did NOT want to go down by the water.
Joli didn't mind the water at all. She was trying to talk Syrus into chasing the birds with her.
Abby took the camera so that I could be in at least one shot.
Then Joli and I played in the surf. Joli was fearless. Every time the waves would come she would just stand there and wait for some more.
When she was little she would go all in all the time. Then she went through a no water stage. Now she appears to be over it!
It's so nice to have a waterproof camera.

Lilly is pretty fearless too.I thought this picture was so neat the way the bucket was placed.
The kids were throwing sand and water and Lilly didn't really care.
I just think this is so sweet with Lilly playing in the sand and her big brother looking back to check on her.

This was our cue that it was time to leave. Syrus and Lilly both rubbed sand into their already sleepy eyes and no amount of water seemed to be helping.
It was such a lovely beach day. The water was so nice and the kids were so nice. I'm going to hold on to this day.

It looks like you guys had so much fun! Joli looks happy... hopefully she stayed that way! Can't wait until Charlotte can swim/walk and I can use my camera in the water!
