We finally got to the beach for the first time this year on July 4. While it was busy at St. Augustine Beach that day, it wasn’t too crowded and everyone had a great time. It was the first time that we stayed six hours. The kids just so enjoyed the water and the sand.
Little Charlotte had a great time too. This was her first trip to the beach where she actually was out and about. I don’t think I even put her in a swim suit for her last trip.
Our home base. We bought that tent shortly after we got married and it has been so handy to have a space with shade.
The kids got right to digging and playing. Ben did a great job keeping his hat on the entire day.
Playing together.
Fetching a pail of water.
There were several sandbars that were easy to get to as the tide went out so Jonathan took the older two out further throughout the day. They really enjoyed that.
Finishing up lunch.
Showing off the watering can
A kind man asked if we’d like a picture of our entire family. We have so few of all 5 of us.
I think they found a crab here.
Rosemary enjoyed body surfing and boogie boarding with Jonathan. Her confidence in the water increased exponentially after swim lessons this year.
Adorable baby girl…even with her eyes closed. Check out those lashes!
Charlotte enjoyed ‘talking’ with these kids. It was actually a bit hard to get her to keep walking with us.
We all had a great time. At about 4, we finally loaded up the car to head back towards home. We stopped in Palatka at Corky Bell’s for some dinner. So good. We all slept well that night!
