A Cloudy Day at the Beach

It was 80 degrees and beautiful today, and Nancy (Branden's mom) was visiting, so we got Alec out of school early, bought new swimsuits and hats for the babies, and headed out to beat the crowd that would certainly be heading toward the beach today. We got loaded up with shovels and buckets,sunscreen, and a beach umbrella. When we rounded the bend to park our car near the beach, we were in a complete haze. A thick layer of low lying clouds surrounded us, but we did find a great parking spot! Lily and Max had so much fun crawling around in the sand. Alec loved digging "like a dog" to make a deep hole all the way to the center of the earth. We found some cool rocks and shells, and had a great time, but we didn't need the sunscreen or umbrella!
