Heads to the beach of course. It wasn't a particularly hot day but the kids still had a great time rolling around in the sand. Playing with a few of the other kids there at the beach and running through the waves.
I don't know why my kids love to collect seaweed but every time we come to the beach they love to find as many clumps of seaweed as they can. 
Along with sand angels, Sophie collected a whole bunch of seagull feathers which are plentiful all over the beach.
There is something inside boys that tells them they have to throw sand. Ian was not the only boy along the beach that I saw doing this same thing. The desire to throw must run strong in boys.
Henry was still a little unsure about going into the waves. He liked to go down to the edge and then run away from the incoming waves. He got caught a few times and didn't like it too much. 
Sophie had no trouble playing in those cold waves. She was thrilled to get the chance to play and skip and jump and get knocked down by waves. But the fun didn't stop there. After a full day at the beach we climbed up the cliff to our campground. We, along with some friends, pitched our tents threw some logs on the fire and had a grand time cooking hot dogs over the fire and roasting marsh mellows for smores. The kids had the best time getting more and more dirty.
I didn't take a whole lot of pictures while we were at the campsite. I was too busy keeping kids from trouble or taking them on hikes or to and from the bathrooms. We saw owls and bats fly around above us as it was getting dark and the kids loved looking up and seeing so many stars. Living in the city doesn't allow for much stargazing. After one night of sleeping on the hard ground we were done. So we broke camp and headed back home Saturday afternoon. We were gone for only about 24 hours but it felt like a really long time. Saturday afternoon we had a pool party we had to go to and then a farewell party that night for friends that are moving. So it was a very busy day. One event after another.
Sunday has been a good recoup day. The kids have been a bit more cranky because they are tired I think but hopefully things will settle down again into our normal schedule tomorrow.
