Beach - Day 2

Well day 2 started very similar to day 1 - they didn't like the sand. Evidence below with their feet in their chairs. I thought kids liked to get dirty? They both love to play in the sandbox at school....

With the Elmo kite high in the air, it didn't take long to get Cole out of the chair!

Savannah had to finish her snack before she left her chair. It wasn't long before she got over her fear of being dirty - she was covered from head to toe in sand and salt water! Both Cole & Savannah had so much fun playing in the sand today. They both enjoyed getting dirty more when they realized they could rinse their hands off in a bucket of salt water. It was so fun to watch them play. They were fascinated by the birds and wanted to chase them. Savannah still doesn't want to put her feet in the ocean, but Cole will let the water tickle his toes.

We went to dinner at a restaurant on the beach. They served the kid's meals in a bucket with a shovel. The kids both had mini corn dogs - which they LOVE! Savannah literally shoveled hers in!

After dinner we drove around a little bit and then came back to the condo for a night swim. Cole & Savannah were unsure of getting in the pool. Savannah warmed up to the idea more quickly than Cole did, but eventually Cole got in too. They ended up loving it & didn't want to get out. Apparently it was one of our better activity ideas, because after some fruit snacks Savannah was calling out "Bed, bed, bed" and Cole went to sleep right after his head hit the pillow - and that NEVER happens!

There is nothing as beautiful & peaceful as a sleeping child!
