A Trip to the Beach

Today we went to the beach.  Compared to the weather in San Jose the weather here in San Clemente has been very mild.  In fact, it has been overcast most of the time but the temperature has been pleasant.  Which made the day at the beach a lot of fun, not too hot and not too cold.

Today was Austin's first trip to the beach and he has proven to be quite the water/beach baby.  He had a blast!  He played with the sand toys and we even took him to get his feet wet in the shoreline.  When we were done he had sand EVERYWHERE. 

 

The big kids had lots of fun too. They loved splashing in the waves, filling buckets with sand and/or water, and then washing off rocks, shells, shoes, even other sand toys in the buckets.  It was really fun to watch them.
