Exploring the beach

The kids LOVE going to the beach house. They asked about it for weeks and weeks before we got there and have talked a bunch about it since we've gotten home. Noah couldn't wait to go down to the beach so he could make a fire and roast marshmallows. Eli wanted to go to the beach so he could throw rocks and sticks into the water. The last time we were at the beach house Sarah was too small to actually play on the beach but this time she loved it. Great Aunt Wendy and Great Aunt Christie were pretty pleased that Sarah would go with them as long as they were going to the beach. At one point Wendy asked Sarah, "Do you want to go back to Grandma?" "No." "Do you want to go find Mommy and Daddy?" "No." Sarah just wanted to stay down by the water.

Sarah made sure we had the marshmallows.
