The boys and I piled in the car this morning and drove to the beach. Our first stop was to stop at one of the special whale watching points. We looked and looked. The boys even got out their binoculars. I am sure there were whales out there somewhere but we didn’t see any. What we could see, however, was the beach down below calling our name.
So we piled back in the car and headed down to the beach. It was a little chilly in the morning. I think the beach is the only place where you can see people bundled up in coats, hats and scarves with no shoes on. No matter how cold it is, people still want to feel the sand between their toes. The boys played in the sand for quite a while with their buckets and shovels. They also had a good time finding parts of dead sea creatures that had washed up on the beach. Colm got way too wet for the temperature and they both had sand stuck to every inch of their skin, clothes…it was in their hair and in their ears.

It was time for lunch, so the boys changed into cleaner drier clothes and we had a great little picnic.
Colm decided he wanted to get all bundled up after we’d had lunch.
We were thinking about heading home after having cookies and ice cream at one of the local shops when we saw some people walking around with these really cool beach bikes that you can rent. So off we trekked to go rent a couple of bikes. We had to wait quite a while to get the bikes, but the boys LOVED them. The beach we went to was huge and they could pedal as far and as fast as they wanted to. Good times!!!
