Beach Days




We spent a hot hot day at the beach and had fun building sand castles and cooling off in the water.  The beach was actually on a lake and we found the sand much smoother than the ocean.  
The next day we went to the beach at the ocean and found the water cooler and the sand rougher, but how can you come all this way and not swim in the ocean?!
So far we have seen a jellyfish, crabs (of varying sizes) and hundreds of starfish.  They litter the shoreline when the tide goes out.  They're mostly purple, but every so often you see a red, or grey, or orange one.  We've collected a number to dry out to take as souvenirs.
