We celebrated the beginning of fall by hitting the beach today! It was a beautiful day so we met our friend, Joan, at a nearby beach and had a glorious day! First we spent a couple hours at the aquarium on the boardwalk, which Ellie had never been to, and then a couple hours at the beach.
Feeding time for the seals! We got to watch them eat and do a few tricks. Best of all, there weren't very many people there so we got to sit right at the pool's edge. Later we also watched the penguins feeding time - they are adorable and Ellie's favorite part of the aquarium!

At the beach, Ellie was the bravest she has ever been near the ocean. She played in the water with Lori and with Aunt Joan - running away from the surf and jumping over the water rolling in. We were so proud of her! She also loved building sandcastles with Aunt Joan and digging with her shovels! By the end of the day she was freezing and you could see her shivering from a mile away but we still had to drag her away from the water and from Aunt Joan!
Lunch? Sand and blue cotton candy!
Audrey's first trip to the beach!

Is it just me or does it seem that gymnastics (and time) are making our girl a bit braver? It looks like a fabulous day!!!
Looks like a fun day! And great that you can go to the beach in Sept. That doesn't happen in Minnesota much =)
