Jude decided that his socks and shoes needed to come off as soon as we stepped foot on the sand.
Tam went down to investigate how cold the water was... realized it was still freezing cold... and opted to keep his shoes on and not try wading out to his rock.
Rocks were the theme of the visit. Jude picked up all the larger rocks he could and chucked them into the waves... or at least tried to with his little throwing arm. He would yell "I did it" each time one of the hurled stones actually made a splash in the water.
Tamlin opted to play with the large rocks. He found a friend and played "King of the Mountain." This eventually led to jumping off the rocks pretending to be superheroes.
We found some sea glass, a few shells, and lots of pretty stones to bring home with us. I enjoyed hearing the waves crash against the break wall and the beach. I missed that sound while the lake was frozen through the wintertime. Looking forward to when it is warm enough to swim :-)
