Sand Castle Days

We spent a very windy Saturday at the Island this weekend but it was worth it. We saw dozens of sand castles made and Jude had a great time playing in the sand as always. Playing in the sand is a hundred times more fun than anything else for that kiddo.

This was the first time Jude had ever asked me to bury him and like a little kid myself I got to it with no hesitation. This photo is hilarious I think because Jude looks like he was buried standing up and his body language seems to be saying that it's no big deal to be buried. Like sure my lower half body is under sand but so what I'm busy inspecting this here sea shell in my hand.

For the sand castle contest this was one of my favorites but there were many awesome designs.

Pirates Landing was my top favorite. Not only because it was sculpted so well but because of that funky little teddy bear with a weird grin on his face. What's that all about?

Before we got ready to go I decided a walk down the Jetties would be nice. Jude and I talked about the people fishing and explored a bit. We didn't let the wind discourage us and only turned back to the beach because half way down the rocks were set too far apart for us to safely and comfortably go on any further.

I don't think I can say it enough.

LOVE
