Heading to the Beach

We ended up going to the beach 3 times during out trip, though the first day was by far the nicest weather. I don't have many pictures from the other two days because my battery had died and then it was too windy to get Finn out of the car on the last day. 
Coronado was a great beach and the kids had a blast. The adults enjoyed basking in the sun and getting a little wet and sandy as well.
Henry spent a lot of time searching for shells until he was running from a wave and fell face down and got completely covered with water. He didn't mind the fall much, but he was pretty cold after, so he wrapped up in a towel and then fell asleep on the blanket. He napped there for quite a long time until it was time to leave. Talk about relaxing.
 Mia, Gavin and Mallory managed to get in the water on every beach trip. They love outrunning those waves.
 Wyatt wouldn't go near the water, but once he discovered that the beach is really a giant sand box, he was in heaven.
 Grandma headed out to the ocean.

 Claire was so hilarious hauling water up the beach. She would take her bucket to the edge and try and get as much water as possible and then run back fast, spilling a lot of it. It didn't seem to bother her though, she just kept making more trips.
 Right now, Finn doesn't seem to love the beach. It was a bit too bright and breezy for him, but he was content to be carried around for awhile.
 What a mud monster.
 Jaren was so excited to have his mom bury him in the sand.
 Mallory and Gavin worked intently on the castle moat, even if the castle didn't get much attention.
