What a wonderful way to spend the day!  You do have to watch out for all the sand you take home though, although, it could be used to start your own sandpit!

What fantastic pictures Izzy... First time at the beach?  No way, you look like an old hand at playing in the sand!  Is that Monkey Dad pregnant, are you trying to tells us something?  After all, the kids are looking very grown up now, you might be clucky LOL.

Wow I had no idea you had never been to a beach before. How did you like it? It looks like you had a lot of fun and I love the last photo those are some nice sand boobs! LOL

How lovely Izzy

I love the beach myself

 Love the modelling job you done on hubby, suits him, Oops don't tell him I said that.

How great your first experience actually at the beach, I read your response to winnie about the sand finding all the nooks & crannies you didn't know you had, Hee Hee!...that is the one down side to being in the ocean.

I find being near the beach & ocean so peaceful and take walks along our beach every chance I get.

So pleased you had a good time on the beach, Sand, Sea and Sun and it looks like you had all three. Give the children a bucket and spade and they love it and will play for hours. It did look quiet there and I couldn't see the ice cream van. I always like an ice cream when I am on the beach

The pics are lovely of you all

Love Pauline

Your merman really looks to be very relaxed despite the cross gendering,LOL. In fact you all look to be having an awesome time.

So Izzy, would you go back onto the beach now that you have savoured the delights of sand in every thing,hehe.

I love the beach, the sea and all that goes with it, except the half ton of sand that still manages to find its way home with us,ugh.

Thanks for sharing your trip, the kids look so,so happy too.

Love Winnie.xxxx
