After 10 years of living in Massachusetts, I finally made my way down to the Connecticut shoreline beaches! Tyler and I packed up and headed down to Hammonassett Beach in Madison, Connecticut. Tyler and I packed our stuff an headed over to Elaine, Olivia, and Derek's house. On the way down, we picked up Olivia and Derek's Aunt Kara and we all enjoyed a very relaxing day together on the Connecticut shore!
Tyler and Olivia digging away. We all packed sand toys and the kids had a blast digging in the sand and collecting shells, rocks, and fish.
Tyler actually went into the water on this trip. During our trip in April to Florida, Tyler found out the he was no match for the waves and never went into the water after the first beach day. Today he had no problem running in and out of the water (thank goodness!).
Tyler and Olivia enjoyed lunch of peanut butter, jelly, and fluff. The kids all played so great together, it was amazing to watch. All the way home they talked and played pretend as well (Olivia was the doctor and Tyler was the nurse!).
When Derek wasn't chasing after the seagulls, he entertained himself on the shore as well! After 10 minutes in the car on the way home, he was chasing the birds in his dreams!

I am so jealous that you are that close to a beach. Rileigh keeps asking me almost every week if we can go to the beach. The closest "beach" we have is the beach at Morse Reservoir, and I am not a lake person. It looks like the kids had a good time!
Fun! I miss being so close to the beach. It looks so pretty- I love those big, fluffy clouds, as well as those cute kids!
If you guys ever get a chance you should go to Block Island. We hope to vacation there someday. You have to take a ferry, but the beaches are awesome! Totally worth the trip!
