This summer has been really cool here in California. Most days it is in the low seventies. Somehow all my summer photos this year involve sweaters and long pants....hmmmmm. While it is a lovely temperature to be out and about, if you are a kid that loves the water it is a bit cool for running through the sprinklers and going to the beach when the water is always in the mid 50's. For that it's better when it is at least 80 degrees.
This week we got tired to waiting for warmer weather and headed to the shore with our sweatshirts. Before we left, Genevieve decided to get herself all dressed up as only a toddler can do.
When she felt her outfit was complete with bangles to fit the occasion, we loaded up and headed for the beach. The wind was blowing and sweatshirts were required. She didn't let that stop her from having a great time with a shovel and pail.
It took a while to convince her that dumping all of the sand on our towel was not the best place for buckets of sand. She agreed and opted to dump it into the stroller instead. Sigh. At least there it wasn't heading into my eyes. While she moved sand around, my toes enjoyed themselves.
It turns out that sand doesn't taste very good. As usual, it takes a few minutes to remember this kind of important information.
However, sunglasses are a great accessory in the afternoon sun.
When you are wearing glasses, earrings look much more interesting than they do otherwise. Desiree was thankful to get her ear back in one piece.
They may even give you x-ray vision. It is best to run around and check the area for buried treasure.
Sadly, that day there was no obvious treasure to be discovered, so she settled for a cup of ice and some goldfish on the road home. It was still fun, even if it was still a bit cool to go in the water.
