As summer was ending I wanted to take the kids to the beach one more time. I tried to collaborate with Aunt Lauren and the kids but our schedules did not align. Our last trip we actually arrived at 9:05 am and were there till about 3. We were have so much fun and soaking in the time we had together.
When we got there we picked our spot a little farther away from the water so we did not have to keep moving the blanket and umbrella back. After we set up our spot we ran right into the water and were in there for about an hour. We were pleasantry surprised that we saw about a dozen sand crabs, There was a little girl and her mom hat made a water bed for them. I wanted both of my kids to check them out and play with them. I was very proud of Dominic with actually touching the crab.

After mommy was done we went back to the blanket and got a snack. Then we took our traditionally stroll across the beach to look for shells and other creatures. This trip we actually found a lot. We saw a 'whole crab' but yes it was dead. Then we saw some pretty cool shells and LOTS of seaweed.
As we finished up our walk we decided to build our HUGE castle and sand road. Mommy bought big shovels and buckets for this last trip. It was a huge success. Madeline was a great help digging up the lines for the road and then would assist Dominic with building castles. The past few times we have worked together to make castles. How we not just put sand in the mold BUT we pat it and make sure its all set. As we were building we saw a few lady bugs. Madeline was very excited and truly enjoyed hands on experience.
After making our castle/road,playing in the water and making friends we had a blast. Dominic could LIVE in the water and I am really grateful he is such a great swimmer and Madeline as well . She is very smart and know hers limits with the water and how far to go. I really enjoy holding her hand and inching up as we go deeper.
As our last day at the beach comes to an end. We ran around, laughed, ate lunch on Mommys lap (yes all my kids) and just enjoyed our time together.
I am really happy that I took the day off to make these memories.
As we closed our day our we took the traditional REALLY cold shower then icee with a snack. Loaded the car and headed home. As always like clock work Dom was out in 10 minutes so Maddy I played Moana and Frozen songs.
I am a pretty lucky mommy.
