Birch Bay

I was surprised that Addie and Carter were not the only ones who didn't love the beach. Sadie had been allowed to bring Tori so she wouldn't be stuck hanging out with a bunch of "little kids". But still the girls spent quite a bit of time asking if they could go sit in the car. Can you believe it a beautiful beach on a bright sunny day and the girls wanted to go sit in the car. I swear they are skipping into their teen years. At least Philip had a blast running around with David and Evan. That is until his stomache reminded him it had been more than 15 minutes since he had eaten. Growing boy and his unsatiable appetite. You know even the dog seemed a little whiny at the beach. Of course that wasn't until she ended up swimming in the cold salty water. because she could touch when we passed over a little inlet. She kept trying to drink the water and then would get an awful look of disgust on her face until she got to the next pool of water where she would stupidly try it again.

After walking out to the water's edge we headed over to the state park to wash the sand off our feet and enjoy a picnic lunch. i could have spent the rest of the day out there exporing the rocky side of the beach, but Samantha and her kids were done so we decided to head back to town to go to a park.

Well at least by the time we left everyone agreed they had had a good time. Their tummies were full, their feet were covered in sand and their buckets were filled with shells and treasures. It was a good day.
