Beach Day!

We had some wonderful weather while Mom was in New England. I'm thankful that the heat and humidity only made its presence known a few days she was here. In fact, there were several times that she needed a sweatshirt or sweater because she was cold.

On one of the warmer days, we packed a lunch and went to the beach. What a shame it would be for Mom to come clear across the country and not see the ocean! It was a beautiful day. The tide was on its way out so we had to keep picking up all of our stuff and moving it down closer to the water so we could keep our eye on the kiddos. Mom and I enjoyed taking turns: one staying with the stuff and one playing with the kids.

Marshall, as usual, was digging in the sand. He came across a clam! We enjoyed putting it in a pail of water and sand in order to watch him bury himself again. We all thought it was so cool! Hopefully the clam survived once we put him back into the ocean at the end of the day...he was acting a bit sluggish.

Of course we all came home tired and filthy from our sand/sunscreen combination but it was a memorable day for Mom, the kids and me.
