Beach Babies

Mustang Island was a nice state park.  It was windy which was nice since it was hot.  One thing we hadn't anticipated was how much seaweed would be on the beach.  We were on the side of the island that faced the open ocean, so the beach caught all of the seaweed coming in.  Mia had visions of building sand castles, but the vast amounts of seaweed meant that the kids had to play in the drier sand several feet back from the water line.  They still really enjoyed it.  Mia didn't really want to go too far out in the water, though.  The waves made her feel unsteady, so she only got in for a few minutes at a time.  Quinn didn't like the water much at all.  I think it was overwhelming for him.  He liked the beach better.  We also went beachcombing for seashells.  Mia found several that we had to bring home as her shell collection.

Q was ready to get out.

 Can you believe all of the seaweed?
