Beach pictures....from Thanksgiving

Better late than never, right?

Right from the start, Rand was excited about going to the beach!

At first, Rand just wanted to hold Grandpa's hand and barely get his feet wet. By the end of the morning, they were waaaay out in the water -- Grandpa was carrying Rand and letting the waves splash them. Didn't get a picture of that, alas.

Ella also got her first ocean experience! The water was pretty cold but she didn't cry at all. She was very intent and focused on watching the ocean.

Castle building time!

Ella was exhausted from all of the mental stimulation.

We love the beach!
