Nico and Dijar had fun playing in the mirror while I got Ella and Egan ready to go.
The first thing Ella did when she got to the beach was find a stick to write in the sand. She said she wants to write her name everywhere so everyone can see it. Dijar said we've got a future tagger on our hands.
The Es played a game (which Ella was sure that they created themselves) called "Chase the Waves." For a while, they were hesitant to get wet because it was a bit cold. Don't you love Ella's beach hair?
While they played, Dijar practiced his tai chi on some driftwood.
The kiddos finally got a little braver and had a great time wading without getting too wet...
until Egan decided to go swimming (at least that's what he says he was doing). He was pretty upset about his soaked self for a few minutes...
but got over it quickly once he warmed up (good thing D stuck extra towels in my car).
And it all became just a fun memory after we hit Ben & Jerry's. Eg reminded us about his swimming adventure all night and the next day.
We went to the marshes and to the Aquarium Pyramid at Moody Gardens yesterday. Maybe I'll get to those pictures tomorrow.
