We made another appearance at the beach for a 3-day trip. It ended up being beautifully sunny and warm, and the ocean was even warm, too. That meant that we were able to spend most of our time playing in the sand and the waves (usually about 3 hours or so), since when the kids got wet, they weren't freezing and asking to go back to the cabin. It was always high tide when we went, and by waiting a little bit, we'd get some tide pools to show up that warmed up like bath water. One particular place we always went to had a large sand bar and some very deep tide pools behind it ... the kids liked to run and jump into them, kind of like going off the diving board (that's what Tor is doing in the photo).
