Wells Beach

Another beautiful day in New England! The kids have been complaining that the summer is almost over and we haven't been to the beach yet, so we finally went! It was so fun!

Yay! We're at the beach! You'd think she'd be happy, right? We brought lunch and ate and were trying to get everything organized and put away. The kids were really anxious to get in the water. Addison said she wasn't going to smile until she was in the water.

Owen was having fun in the sand.

Me under the umbrella

You can always count on Arilyn for a smile even though she was angry about not getting to the water, too!

Finally to the water! Which was freezing, as usual! 

Owen likes to run back and forth, but not really get in the water.

This is about how far I went in, especially after 'Shark Week' last week!

Addison got knocked over by a wave...she was a little chilly!

Running in the shallow waves.

Playing

Arilyn playing in the waves, but being cold!

Cute pic of Arilyn and a wave.

Can you hear the Baywatch music??

Arilyn being Arilyn

Alexa loved the water and kept trying to go out further and further. The waves knocked her down a few times, but she never cried. I was trying to keep her close to the sand because the water was so cold it was hurting my feet.

Getting a chance to use their boogie boards they got for Christmas from Aunt Jennifer

Addison was actually really good at it!

She would get all the way in.

Arilyn was pretty good, too for their first time

Owen jumping over the waves

Shawn

Arilyn and Daddy being silly

Digging in the sand

These pictures were so funny. Shawn drinking a Dew and Alexa drinking apple juice. Then sharing and laughing. So cute.

Laughing because Shawn just took a drink of her juice

Shawn asking for a drink

Daddy giving her a sip of dew

Finally! A super cute picture of all four!

And then the silly faces came out.

Addison

Love this smile

And this one, too.

In the long grass

Arilyn

Shawn wanted to take a nice picture of me by the grass. 

And then he had to turn it silly and have Addison 'sneak up' on me. It was hilarious!

Getting closer

closer

Starting to yell

Me pretending to jump

Ahhh! It was too funny!

Then we took a cute picture

Alexa was getting so tired!

I loved this picture of Owen. I can't get over how long his eye lashes are!

Dancing on the beach

Love this picture!!

Playing with Addison's sunglasses

These were pictures from my phone...waiting to get in the water

Trying to get warm after being in the water.

Playing in the sand

Laying in the sand :0)

Arilyn in the sand

More surfing

More sand

Alexa sitting in a hole that Shawn and Owen dug. It took a long time in the tub to get all the sand out of everyone's hair and ears and everywhere, but it was such a fun day and well worth it!
