We decided to take advantage of the good weather and went to check out Dauphin Beach just over the boarder in Alabama. It was a great day at the beach.
Daniel and Bradley testing out the boogie boards.
Nathan really wanted to try a boogie board too. He just wasn't too sure about the water.
This was our camp set up. The beach umbrella is so handy!
I love all the little things you can find on the beach. They make for fun pictures.
Daniel was super excited about riding the waves in.
Bradley got to work on a sand castle right away.
Eliza is a great helper when it comes to building sand castles.
All the kids got into building the sand castle.
Dad catching a wave in.
He saw several jelly fish out in the water. Fortunately they were not the stinging kind!
Dad and Daniel riding the waves.
Dad took Eliza out. She was a little bit nervous about the water, but Dad had her back...
or she had his. :0)
Bradley and Daniel fighting the waves out.
After lunch we took a walk on the beach. We decided to look for trash and pick it up.
Everyone looking for trash.
Dad carried the trash bag.
Bradley found some.
Foot prints in the sand.
Dad and Daniel decided to walk to the other side of the island. It isn't too far and they saw several sand crabs. Dad even caught one of the sand crabs. He tried to bring it back to our seats, but it kept pinching him. The last time he dropped it it got away.
Eliza, Nathan and Bradley walked back with me. We had to stop and play in the water about every 15 feet. Eliza and Nathan loved this part of the beach because it is more shallow here than where we set up camp.
Eliza enjoying the waves.
This one was a little bit bigger!
This is one of the little hermit crabs Dad and Daniel found.
This little hermit crab headed back to the water as quickly as he could.
Dad helped the kids work on a "pool". We did have to go before the tide came in so we never did see it get filled up. I guess we will have to go back again.
Nathan is a great helper!
Cheese!
Eliza made her own castle.
We had to get a picture before the water washed it away.
