Tuesday we went on Aveson’s annual K-2 beach trip to Mother’s Beach in Long Beach. Finn got to go along again because he’s already out of school. We hitched a ride with Cari; Finn and Chapin had a good time hanging out in the way back and watching some Little Bear videos.
When we got there, Finn and Charlie enjoyed some quiet time in the water before the big kids arrived.
When the rest of the crew arrived, we started with a picnic lunch on the grassy area.
Soon they were off and running toward the water.
Somehow Finn managed to find a quiet spot, at least for a few minutes.
Ezra ran around in the water for about 10 minutes and then parked himself (and a shovel) in one spot for the entire rest of the time — at least an hour and a half. He and Jenner had some serious building to do.
Finn and Charlie got in on the action, too.
Ezra was covered from head to toe in sand.
Finally, the madness was about to end, and the kids got dressed, had a snack and some play time before lining up for the head count. (Yes, they are actually in lines here.)
