the beach

We spent some time relaxing on the beach after our visit to the aquarium. The water was freezing but the weather was ideal for playing in the sand and enjoying the view. Simon loved crawling through the sand (and eating the sand) and watching the birds (and attempting to chase them).

Oliver found great pleasure in repeatedly jumping into this hole.

Kure Beach

We stopped at the beach next to the aquarium before driving home. It was fun to watch all of the birds diving for their dinner. Despite the colder temperatures, the kids still managed to get wet in the waves.
