Early Saturday we woke and rushed around the house packing all the necessary beach accessories for a long day in the water and sand. We made sure we had food, chairs, boogie boards, drinks, shade, water, diapers, and change of clothes. I believe we were fairly prepared however you could always be more ready. Like more chairs, small table, water shoes (the rocks hurt our feet), or check the older kids bags to make sure they had everything they were suppose to pack.We waited on minutes in line before we headed down from the ranger station to the beach.
We enjoyed splashing in the water, chatting with friends, and watching the kids play. I did not take a ton of pictures near the water for free of ruining the phone (I take all pictures with my Samsung Galaxy Note, it takes great pictures).
Griffin and Grace played well with Morrison and Lyra. Both needed a little coaching out to the water because the rocks were a little rough to deal with on the way in (and out) of the water. I bonded with them as Tony watched Lyra. Griffin's back and Tony's knees and shins are as red as a poinsettia flower.
