Sammy's first beach trip

Little Sam Man experienced his first trip to the beach today at P.J. Hoffmaster State Park. We went around 10:30, when we thought the sun would be the least hot and enjoyed perfect weather. The water was placid, the air temperature wasn't too hot, and the water was freezing. (As usual.) :)

Sammy was in heaven the first moment he laid eyes on what he had to have thought was a giant sandbox put there just for his pleasure. He and Adri both threw everything down and began playing in the sand just as soon as we hit it from the walkway. After coaxing them into walking down the beach and picking up all of their stuff, we found a wonderful spot and let the kids play. Adri immediately set forth playing in the sand and building things while Sammy went about splashing in the water around his ankles.

Two sunburned Mama knees as well as burnt shoulders, and three hours later, we came home and took a nap. It was perfect and relaxing. So relaxing in fact, that I'm thinking of bringing Adri back there again tomorrow. An Adri and Mama day...

Yes! Sammy finally stuck up for himself by throwing sand back at Adri...As you can see, she's not too fond of Sam's new trick.

LOVE Sammer's sand mustache...How exactly does one go about acquiring one?
