Fun at the Beach

After playing in the rather chilly Pacific Ocean, Kyra and Claire know how to end the day -- in the hot tub!





Auntie Violet is sitting just above the dunes at Ocean Mist RV Park --





We can see her as we walk back up from the beach --
The object is to watch the waves and try to catch them just right --




Watch close now --

Now if Grandpa can get all of the lines straightened out --


We can even fly our kite!




We did not see the sun at all today and tonight the fog has crept up the dunes into the campground. There was a pretty good breeze blowing which was nice for flying kites, but not for swimming. I waded out no more than my knees, but the girls spent quite a while jumping into and diving into the waves. Claire got chilled and came and sat on the beach wrapped in towels with Grandpa and Grammy, but Kyra kept at it for over an hour until I called her in and took them into the hot tub.




The girls spent the morning making plaster of paris molds and sidewalk chalk with the kits we bought in town yesterday, while I worked at the getting the laundry done that I had neglected all last week. The humidity is over 65%, so things aren't drying very well.
