beach hopping

For the rest of the summer, the children are determined to hit every public beach access in our area. We started with this one, one we've never been to, since it has one of the longest walks from the parking lot.

To our delight, it was where catamarans go home. :)

And even more delightful, we were invited to sail. Thank goodness there was a storm coming in...I have motion sickness issues.

We helped take the sail down instead. It was my job not to get it wet - a very difficult task for a short girl like me.

I tried to help do this too but I wasn't strong enough.

We had lots of fun and like always we stayed until the sun went down. We'll be visiting another part of the beach soon. I'll let you know how it goes!
