A Fun Day At Crane's Beach

We went to Crane's Beach yesterday.  I was excited to finally put our beach sticker to use (now that the doctors gave me the okay to get my ankle exposed to water).  It was a great morning.  There was a sand castle building contest going on, so we got to see the builders at work.  Zach loved running in and out of the water - he and Gabe ran in/out probably 50 times.  Since it's raining today, I'm so glad that we got a beach trip in this weekend!

so much fun!

this was at the very beginning of the day, when Zach didn't want to get his feet wet

This one was right next to us.  It was the beginning of a shark.

when we were packing up to leave, Gabe said that this will be the perfect shovel for baby Drew to use at the Cape.  I love when he thinks about sharing!
