A little visit and ALOT of fun at Seabrook!

WERE HERE! And we can't be more excited about the sun shining and the fun that's about to begin!

Grandma Dorothy's Cottage was very welcoming.  The girls found all sorts of kid stuff in drawers we would have never thought to look into to!  There was never a dull moment here....

Lots to do, in so little time, but we found a fun park for the girls and it was hard to drag them out of here to get back to the beach for some sunshine, kite flying and digging in the sand.

GO FLY A KITE  ;-)  Well... we sure did try, but unbelievably, there was hardly any wind!  We were so lucky we went on a weekend like this one....

Run Clara, Run.... This was the only way to get that kite up and going....

until she stopped, and back down it went....

I think Natalie found her very most favorite thing to do... dig...dig...dig... She was always putting some sand in that bucket.  A little scoop here... and off she would go... for another scoop there.... She was always on the move with that bucket and shovel! 

T-Shirt weather, it was awesome!!!

Clara being creative with the sand... Making sand rain on her little weed she planted.

CHEESE!

What's a trip to the beach without your name in the sand...

I love this one... You can see Natalie's goofy full blast run!

Daddy making a drawing of Natalie's shadow...

Getting ready to go back down to the beach for some CLAM DIGGIN'!  I'm sure the wind will have picked up and the sun won't be as warm.....

NOT!!!  But we stayed extra warm :-)

Nana is showing off her digging skills!

Here we go!

 

And it doesn't take us long. Lucky for us, we were able to get the girls limits too! 180 clams total for the the two days....

Helping out Daddy... Im suprised she's not digging in the sand!

Okay... I've said it before... She has someones buns! With alot less hair! Clara was all about getting those clams out of the hole... She was so into it, she didn't even notice half her buns were hanging out!

DIRTY little girl....

And She also found a friend on the beach to chit chat with about how his clam digging was going :-)

I really think that it was her mission to get dirty.  As a matter of fact, at the end of the night before bed she was asked what her favorite part about the day was and she said "GETTING DIRTY!"

I'm pretty sure she was intentionally wiping mud on her pants in this one...

And some warrior beach sand paint on the cheek!

Clamming was a success! Buckets and nets, FULL!

And what a lucky bunch of clam diggers we are!!!

Cheese!!! The adults got to enjoy a little beer at the Brew fest and the a ring pop for the kiddos!

Also, some coloring, which we all know is Clara's favorite thing to do!

And after a few scribbles Natalie was off to find something else to do.  I would say this was a good find and an awfully cute little cheeser before it's time to head back down to the beach for Day 2 of Clam diggin' fun!

Daddy and Clara, heading down to hunt for Clams...

And another gorgeous day down at the beach! 

Net's full again, lots of happy clam diggers (not so happy clams)!

Thanks Papa and Nana for the wonderful memories.  The girls are still talking about Grandma Dorthy's and the fun at the beach!  Can't wait to do it again!!!

As we got back to the car, this is the view we had... pretty amazing!
