Our day began with some running on the beach....

 and a little pondering over what really does lurk in the ocean.

 Before long, it was a day in the life at the beach complete with more skim boarding....

 castle building and the collection of water to help shape said castles....

 some jumping of the waves.....and LOTS of swimming in the ocean.

 Our youngest little one made herself at home on a boogie board and quickly began calling it her boogie board....

 with football season in full swing, our guys spent some time tossing around the football....

 and our girls spent time making foot sand caves.....

 and preparing our favorite beach stew.....

What a beautiful day we had together!  Beach, beach, beach and MORE beach = perfect.
