Kites and Other Beach Fun (Day 3)
Posted By pamelamyers on July 21, 2015
We always try to get to the beach nice and early and this day was no exception. We were having such great weather that we wanted to soak it all up while we could. Mark has been really into staying fit these days and he did some push ups on the beach. Sam wanted to work out with him so she did some too.
She had been asking Mark for weeks about flying her kite on the beach. It is one of her favorite Daddy-Daughter beach activities. It seemed like a good kite flying day, so up it went!
It was a bit of a tough time getting it up, but once it was flying, it really flew!
Sam is usually pretty good at holding on, but twice she let go. Boy, did Mark have to book down the beach! Well, he did want some exercise…
After a while, it was time to take it down. Sam found it hysterical to chase the kite’s shadow as it moved around. She looked so cute running from place to place jumping on the shadow and chasing it as it moved away.
Eventually, the kite came down and it was time for more sandy, beach fun.
Sam wanted to dig a hole her boat could float it. She never quite gets why if she digs a hole and dumps water in it, why it does not stay. Mark took her down closer to the ocean so she could make her moat. They dug and dug and…
…eventually, the ocean cooperated and filled the hole! Yay!
On to another day The Burkes were arriving the next night so we had to get some sleep to be ready for the company!
