Beach 2009

This is the path that leads from the house to the beach, crossing a wild flower covered sand dune.

Leith and Kevin play catch as the tide comes in.

At high tide, the waves were encroaching on our space, so Niall undertook to build a little sea wall- it actually did keep the water off the towels, mostly.

We love the self timer feature on the camera.

Niall on the rocks.
India plays in the surf.

Coral tries not to let the wave catch her.

Lunch on the beach.

Leith needed a boost at the bottom, then climbed right up.

Part of the beach has been inundated with a finer sand than usual- not good for tide pools and sea stars, but great for sand castles.

Cute kids!

More self timer photos....

After the self-timers,the boys didn't stick around for more pics, but the girls love the camera.

The last morning...

The path that leads from the beach back over the dune to the car to go home....
As an added bonus, here is a little video of the kids interacting with the gulls that became interested in our lunch....
