Beach Fun

The one good thing about not running much is that there are a lot more free Sunday morning time to spend together as a family! And since Ryan ended up staying home today and forgoing the Baldface Loop with some of the Trail Monsters, we were all free! It was supposed to be such good weather that I proposed we head down to Reid State Park and enjoy a day at the beach. Low tide was at 10:45 am too, so it would be perfect timing! We started off the day with pancakes at Mae's in Bath (yum!) and were on the beach by 9:30. We were one of the first cars in the lot. Ahhh...

We could smell the pink beach roses as soon as we got out the car. The sun was shining, there was a nice breeze and the sky was a brilliant blue. The waves were lapping the shore, and there were just a few other families out enjoying the sun, water and sand. We set up our little shade tent and headed down to the water. Sam had a blast, and we spent over 3 hours soaking up the perfect beach day!

Happy girlie!

She was so tired out after all the sun and water and activity that she konked right out for a late nap when we got home! Hurray for that :-)
