Day 6: Low Tide

On June 1st, we had plans to go hang out with friends at their pool. They had to reschedule, so at the last minute we decided to hang out at the ocean for an hour in the middle of the afternoon. I'm really going to miss being able to do that once we move to UT!

It was great to arrive at 3pm, though, because many other people were leaving. And we happened to get there during the lowest of the low tides I've ever seen. The beach went on forever, and we had a blast playing on an "island," a sandbar that is usually further out in the ocean. Everyone had a great time, and it was so nice to be somewhere where the kids were all happy to be playing outside, making messes, being together or meeting new friends and very little was required of me. I decided I needed to take advantage of this as much as possible while we're here, so we've been to the beach once a week since school got out.

My sister, Susannah, was visiting at the time, and she did a great job of taking pics of the kids with her awesome camera.

Thanks, Suz!
