We ate a quick lunch, told the kids to put their swim suits on under their clothes (there is a beach there) and loaded up the van. We didn't give them many details; sometimes it's just better that way. Less than 20 minutes later, we were inside the campground, parking the van and showing the kids the horses.
The girls were more than a little thrilled to be up on a horse:
They were able to go for a small trail ride and smiled the whole way.
The boys stayed back with us at the campground, and as soon as Jack saw them coming back, he ran over to get a ride himself.
Even Jimmy was interested in the horses!
After we chatted for a bit and the kids indulged in some snacks that we offered to them, we headed to the beach.
This is Sophia's traditional pose every time she sees me grab the camera. She's definitely not camera-shy in the least.
Jack loves the mud and the sand. He could play for hours just digging ... and digging.
The girls joined in after a while. The water was still warm (for being September), but they liked the sand a bit more.
The last of our summertime beach trips:
In the meantime, James and I found a shady spot up on the grass and settled in for a little snack and some milk. It doesn't take much to make him happy ...
