Beach Trip

We went to the beach! Well, not the real beach, but a water with sand area! I wasn't expecting to have so much fun, but it was a blast! We're already planning on going again soon!

Last night Andy offered the suggestion of going to Lake Charles, to the little beachy area. It didn't sound like a lot of fun to me, but was feeling adventuresome. So early Friday morning, we put on our suits, packed an ice chest and headed to Lake Charles. We stopped by Wal-Mart on the way out of town for some sand toys.


A short hour later, we were on the beach! The kids had an absolute blast. We were sad when it was time to leave. Weather permitting, we'll be back on the beach Friday. It makes for a great, Family Fun Day activity!

The big girls enjoyed the water.
Our "Mom's day off, I'm not packing lots of junk" set-up.
C is obviously distraught by something.
A spend most of his time sitting right where the waves splashed him.
The kids busy at work.
M was all business. Sand play was a real duty for her.
A loved the sand and water. He ingested a healthy dose of both.
C and J in the water.
E was such a trooper, sitting and watching.
The kids loved their cheap sand toys.
Thank you Wal-Mart for being open early.
