When we first arrived at the beach, Julia wasn't took keen on the sand so I carried her to our spot. She had peed through her swim diaper and thoroughly wet herself and the carseat on the way to the beach, so besides not liking the sand right off, she was also a bit upset because she had been sitting in a pee-soaked carseat for some time.
And, who would have guessed how much STUFF one needs to take three kidlets to the beach?
All the same, we had a pretty good time! And, even though the sky was overcast most of the day, that didn't prevent us from from becoming crispy critters.
Swimsuit #1 (The Pee Suit): Oh, SO cute! Navy w/ Sea Horses... I LOVE this suit!
Ooh, sand! NOW I like it, mom!
I walked with her down to the water, and while she liked the LOOK of it, she was not took keen on the water actually TOUCHING her. So Julia and I walked close to the surf and then I picked her up and took her for a little bit just so she could experience the sight and smell of the ocean.
This is a picture of Julia (Katie's Super Cute Will is in the sand hole on the left) near the edge of the water.
The water seemed the enthrall her when it wasn't touching her.
On our way back to our blanket, I let Julia walk the way back because she was finally enjoying the sand. She would crawl in it for a few feet and then pick her arms / hands up and wipe them off, then start over again.
After the beach, we walked to/on the pier for a late lunch at Ruby's Diner.
Here is a picture of Katie with the three kids on the pier.
Julia fell asleep on the way to the diner and basically slept through lunch. However, Will and Xander were more than willing to provide us with a Cute Toddler Show.

After lunch, we left the beach and headed back to the hotel. At our hotel, there was an outdoor heated pool, so we thought we'd get the kids swimsuited again and take them for a dip in the pool. Though Julia cried for about five minutes in the pool, after I showed her how to splash, she had an absolute ball and splashed whoever would let her. Then I let her kick her legs while laying on her back, twirled her around and around, and helped her "swim". It was a glorious fun time!
Will gave Julia a hug (and then a tackle to the ground) as he and Katie were heading home for the night.
That night, Wanda and I went to an Albertson's and picked up some food for dinner, and the kid's shared Julia's lunch that we had bought at Ruby's but ended up bringing back with us to the hotel.
