The kids at the beach… playing in the sand and surf for the First Time! Granna and PapPap were on hand for the fun.
Will had a tough time understanding the whole “sand castle” deal. He was very interested in making mud pies, though.
Kate, characteristically, was interested in eating. All the time. The whole morning. 
Except for a few moments where chasing her brother became more appealing.
Once sufficiently full (2 eggs, 2 bananas, Kix cereal, trail mix, half a ham sandwich, grapes, and a cup of Gatorade — all before 11am) Kate found that she loved the ocean water. 
The breakwater area was filled with small brown furry-looking things (see them in the water?) I have no idea what they were… animal? plant? 
The shoreline was a bit of a dip down from the sand edge and did not have the long, progressively deeper water (as we’re used to from years swimming in the Carolina Atlantic), but instead was more bumpy and quicker to gain depth. This made it a bit more intimidating (less space for kids to run from the water’s edge and play with the water) but Will overcame this quickly.
We can’t wait to go back tomorrow!
