After we finished the Senic Drive, we stopped as this beach, upon the recommendation of one of the park rangers. The sand was white and lovely and a small creek flows out into the lake at this point. We told the gang they could wade and get their toes wet...
...but obviously forgot to define the word "wade" for Jonathan, who promptly ran right into the water up to his knees and then was soaked after the first wave.
Elsie Mae...
Rebekah...
Anna...
Victoria...
Nadia...
even Brendan (somewhat)
finally followed his example.
Tim wandered the beach with the kiddos for a little while,
while I took care of the baby and watched Tori build a sand castle.
We all enjoyed the gorgeous sunset, the waves, the pretty rocks and the rocky white sand.
Back at the van, the younger crew had to strip out of their soaking, sand-covered clothing...down to their underwear... and wrap in blankets for our ride back to the Midland. The only disappointment was that that meant...
NO PLAYLAND at McD's this time (You can't go into the store barefoot... imagine what they'd say if we tried to carry in 3 wearing only underwear) ~ we had to eat dinner IN the van! Yay for Happy Meals... and their toys.
what lovely pictures! That last one really was amazing. I agree about the whole Mc-D's thing. I DON'T think they would have appreciated that! ; )
