Beach in October

It was so beautiful this weekend we were able to go out on Mark's boat for the first time (but probably the last time this year). Our family and Tim and Anna set sail up the river to the ocean.....Although, the launching of the boat in the water was a little rough we finally got it in and were able to go for the first ride as a family.




Mark and Tim dropped all the girls and I off at the spit and we spent the day on the beach while Tim and Mark went fishing. They caught two bluefish (that we ate they were really good)


I got a picture with (almost) all of the girls with their names in the sand.

































We didn't get a picture of Shannon because she was too busy building a sand castle REALLY far away from us and we were distracted by this stingray (he wasn't alive). Anna actually found two of them, the second one wasn't really suitable for pictures. :0)


















Lily found Shannon's sandcastle and she decided that she was the princess of the castle.......






























Lily loved finding snails. There were tons of them on all the rocks because the tide went out while we were there. The snails were everywhere so she collected them and ATE THEM (more like sucked all the salt off of them). There was one point she had 4 of them in her mouth at once.




After a long gorgeous day at the beach, everyone had a snack just in time for Mark and Tim to finish fishing and pick us up. We went for a quick ride out into the ocean and then we headed for home. (Lily passed out sitting up so she didn't get to see much of the ride home on the boat).


I would think that would be our last opportunity to go to the beach for 2007 we were very lucky to be able to sneak one last day in. (It isn't usually beach weather in October around here).........
