More Beach Fun

Evelyn discovered some teeny-tiny clams this morning. They would get washed ashore, and then they would quickly burrow back into the sand. Evelyn would try to catch them before they disappeared into the sand, and then she would add them to the mini-habitat she had made in a small bucket.
Julia was happy as a clam, playing in the sand with her beach toys and bucket of ocean water.
Evelyn got to work on the base for another sand castle. She got the idea for building a smooth mound of sand from a picture book. After laying the foundation, Evelyn adds bricks, towers and various decorations.
We kindly asked a beach neighbor to take a family picture, and we somehow managed to get Julia to go down to the water's edge for the picture.
After supper, we went down to the beach for an evening walk. I had heard that the natural light right before sunset is great for pictures. After looking at the shots I got of the girls, I have to agree.
