Beach Bums!

One thing I love about the summer? The beach!

Early in the week I saw that Saturday was going to be a beautiful day so I started putting the bug in Frank's ear to make the drive to the beach. Luckily, it didn't have to be a very big bug, and he was quickly planning right beside me! Friday night we packed lunches, snacks, drinks, and toys, and on Saturday morning we headed down to the Connecticut shore and Hammonasset State Park.

There was not a cloud in the sky when we arrived! It was great! We picked out a perfect spot, plunked our stuff down, dumped out the toys, and Tyler headed right for the water!

He was all work and little talk for awhile after we arrived.

Tyler managed to connect with some friends who were also there for the day. They had a great time playing in the sand and running in and out of the water. Tyler even dared to dunk his head under the water! We were so proud of him!

All the played eventually led to one thing: A big lunch!

After lunch Ty and I took a walk down to the stone breakwater/ jetty. We enjoyed watching people fish for crabs.

Later in the day we all ventured into the water. It was so warm! Tyler and Frank swam all the way out to the sand bar (much to my chagrin!). The great thing about Hammonasset Beach is that it is in the Long Island Sound and has no waves! So I didn't have to worry too much!

We had a great day and can only hope we have another beautiful weekend like this! Even when we were on our way home, the clouds were still absent from the beautiful blue skies!
