Beach Day

I don't know what was really more strange about today, the fact that it was 100 degrees at our house at the end of September, or the fact that today was Kendall's first trip to the beach. Really, both have an explanation. We do have heat waves quite often this time of year, and the weather was so cloudy and chilly all summer long that we never made it to the beach. Well, we did go once, but forgot to check the tide charts. We lugged all our stuff (including Kendall) down three flights of stairs only to find the waves hitting the cliffs. Needless to say, there was no beach that day.

So, since Dan worked all weekend (and most of last night), he took most of today off and we made it a beach day. Kendall did pretty well and only cried a little bit when she stuck a handful of sand in her mouth to see how it tasted. We came home and played in the wading pool in the backyard to wash all the sand off. All and all a pretty good day!
