I have to split day 3 into 2 parts because it was such a great day! The weather was PERFECT all day and we spent all day at the beach! We came out to find this huge hole that someone else had spent a lot of time digging! The kids all liked playing in the hole!
Caydin spent most of the morning playing in the sand again! We had already figured out that he was getting a rash from the diaper but didn't realize that putting on his swimsuit (over a swim diaper) was making it worse. Poor guy! He whined a bit and just wasn't all that happy at first to be out by the water.
He cheered up enough to run and play though! He figured out that running through the sand near the water was great fun. The house we rented was on the no-car driving section of the beach. That made us all feel sooooo much better about letting the kids run and have fun! We figured the more they ran, the better nap they would all have! I'm pretty sure we'll only rent on the no-car section of beaches from now on! So worth it!
Caydin perked up once we took his swimsuit bottoms off! The kid was unstoppable after that! He played in the sand non-stop and ran around the water. One of his buddies brought a rubber squishy alligator to the beach and Caydin had LOTS of fun throwing it into the waves and running after it. He would throw it in and laugh like crazy. He got pretty brave going into the waves to rescue it! He got a sandcastle building lesson from Mr. Steve but all the kids lost interest after about 2 pails of sand! The moat made for a great alligator home (in case you were wondering!).
We headed back inside for lunch. It was during these lunches that Caydin found a great love for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches! :) The little kids (Caydin included - he's still my little kid!) went up to take a nap and the mommies got some alone time to walk on the beach. So much fun, and sooooo relaxing!
