The older kids discovered that snails can crawl on sand..... that salt water does not kill them.... that if you throw one out in to the ocean the waves will bring it back to you safe and sound (we already discovered that in our experiments at home that they do float and don't drowned at least for a short period of time). Casey was really great at coming up with experiments....i had a hard time trying to decided if they were experiments or torture. But I know they were out of curiosity not cruelty.
They had a great time playing in the waves with Eli. We had parked ourselves in the boarders only zone so the kids had to go down the beach a bit from us to be able to play in water so it was fun keeping watch of the little ones with me and the older ones down the beach. It was to crowded and to much work to move after we figured this out. Luckily there were lifeguards on duty and they were on top of things. it was fun to watch them run around and swim out to people. mostly to tell them they had crossed over to the surfing area and needed to move.
They had a great time getting all sandy and burying Eli's legs. That is the one thing that stinks about the beach....getting all the sand off when its over. Its a good thing they have so much fun because if i ever remembered about the clean up before we went i would probably not go.
