A Day at the Beach ~ July 2025

With all of our busyness, we needed a relaxing day at the beach.  I know, relaxing doesn't usually apply to our beach days with so many little ones.  We attempted to visit a less busy and crowded beach on Edisto Island, and although the weather wasn't the best, we still managed to have some fun.  There is a nice state park on the island that provides all the necessary facilities that families with kids require.  It is about a 3 hour drive for us to this island so it is nice to get cleaned up before making the long drive home because it is often so late when we get home that the kids are just ready for bed.  I like to take some body wash so the kids can shower off and put on clean dry clothes before we head for home.  

Here is our fun cloudy day at the beach before the kids started back to school. Despite the cloudy start to the day, the sun did come out, and we all got a decent sunburn to show for it. Miss Maggie found a cool shell with a hole in it that we used to take some interesting beach pictures.

   

The boys made a barrier with their boogie boards when the wind picked up.  They stayed like that for a while.  

Brody doesn't swim as much as he used to and has become the reclusive teenager like his older brother.  He sat up on the dunes with his phone and didn't even acknowledge the birds flying right over his head. 

  

When the sun came out, it was beautiful!
