being dragged on the boogie board by a big brother
being buried (standing up) in the sand by the siblings (which then sparked a 20 minute water shoe hunt)
watering the flowers
discovering a skate egg sac
digging a trench to the ocean
exploring the Hatteras lighthouse (in the crazy 95° heat)
watching the lighthouse climbers from a shady spot
relaxing on the beach house hammock
drying all the swimsuits during dinner (and now we can participate in Wash Wednesday)
finally, observing a lovely sunset over the sound with a windsurfer zipping along in the fading golden light
Beautiful photos Joy!
ReplyDeleteThe sunset looks like it is just melting into the ocean, the beach certainly is a perfect spot to have a clothesline : ) I am so happy you were able to participate in wash wednesday this week!! Enjoy your time and your family xo
You know what just occured to me? You and I have much the same spread in children's ages. 3 olders and 1 younger. This is such a wonderful mix, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely day Joy! How wonderful that you live so near to the ocean. We live far inland and yearn for the sea... Looks like everyone is having so much fun! Love your Wash Wednesday photo:)
