Kids Days at the Beach

This was the annual kids days at the beach.  Taking the trip was Will, Auna, James, Tierney, Cale, Ty, Brock, Macee, Parker, Rielee, Jillian, and Bridget with adults,Rick, Heather, Papa, and I.  We left Saturday after the VB jamboree and went right to the Astoria pool.  They had a short swim there as someone had an accident in the main pool (not one of ours).  They spent the rest of the time in the hot tub and the smaller ones in the kiddy pool.  Next was Custard King for ice cream and then on to the cabin.  They all went right to the beach to play a baseball game while the little ones played in the sand.  The next day it was right to the beach after breakfast to build the biggest moat ever.  They all shoveled while Jillian and Rielee played in the waves and Bridget ran all over screaming and jumping in small ocean puddles or running away from waves.  When the waves started breaking down the moat, the big kids were playing king of the hill and Jillian got knocked off and tumbled under water which was the end of her playing at the beach.  Mommy took her back to the cabin and she promptly fell asleep. 

This is a picture of the first day when they went to the beach.  The bigger kids wash the sand off their feet in buckets of warm water but Jillian and Bridget decided it was a great place for a bath so the went all the way in. 



The girls pick out videos to watch in the evening the first night and the boys pick them out the second night.  This is Sunday night when the older kids were watching their video and Jillian and Rielee were watching Despicable Me on the computer.  (Bridget was already in bed.)

Then Monday we cleaned up and headed for Funland.  Jillian and Bridget were thrilled with the little prizes they got from the tickets.  We had beautiful weather both days-no wind!
