Gathered up the children and headed to one of our town beaches for a few hours yesterday afternoon. The water felt warmer than it did on Monday at the drive on beach. Go figure. I'm pretty sure water temperature is irrelevant to my children anyway. They just love the waves.
After some intense body surfing, some of us set about to create in the sand.
Behold, our works...
This is my fish. I can't believe how long it took to find enough orange-y rocks to fill in the tail area. The shells were easier to come by. The metallic gold hair elastic found by Cuyler added just the right touch of sparkle, don't you think?
Next up, Ebby's 'Chromatic Flower'. She was also quite dedicated in finding just the right colors to create the petals of her lovely flower. And I just love the touch of pizazz in the center :-)
Will built a fortress of sorts for the Mama T-Rex pencil topper he found in the sand. That didn't cause any problems between him and Cuyler, now did it (*cough* of course it did *cough*)
Cuyler chose not to create any beach art today. He did however collect a bunch of green speckled rocks with which he plans to create a gecko.
All I have to do is find a child-safe glue strong enough to hold together fist-sized rocks....
How I love beach days!
