Thankful for the beach

Today was Thanksgiving, but since we'd already celebrated it on Saturday, we decided to go to the beach today. It was absolutely gorgeous out when we started out, but soon enough it cooled off and a big wind swept in. It was still awesome. Here's some pictures...

I took some pictures of the kids in this tree when Elisabeth was only a few weeks old. Here she is this fall.

And the boy:
Andrew had the bright idea to bring a kite with us. It was a perfect day for kite flying!




Then David decided he was gonna be a kite too.




Then we decided it was way too cold on that side of the beach. So we wandered around to the pier side and continued playing.

Elisabeth decided that since it was so warm on this side, she'd go for a swim!



We built a sea monster.


And found a sea monster...
