Our Day at the Beach

Our day at the beach was no picnic.  Although it was supposed to have been.  We knew there was a chance of rain, but we went for it anyway...

  and got rained on.  

Haystack Rock doesn't look that far away.  Turns out, it was a mile away. 

Look at that dark gray sky!  Welcome to Fall on the coast.

Getting closer.  We had a tailwind on the way there and didn't notice how much it was raining.

Logan was both fascinated and disgusted watching this piece of nature (a gull eating a crab).

Then we turned around and realized how far back we had to walk in the pouring rain.  We were drenched by the time we got back.

Luckily for the kids, we keep a couple of towels and a change of clothes in the car for them at all times.  

Unluckily for James and I, we don't do the same thing for ourselves.  We're going to start.  We had to drive all the way home wearing our wet clothes.  

I didn't take any pictures on the way back.  I tried to keep my phone as dry as possible.  

We did have our little picnic under the protection of our car.  

A cute little piece of nature nobody was disgusted by.  We saw this bunny before we were soaking wet, so we were happy to take a few minutes to watch him. 

The weather was cold and wet, but the company was wonderful.  And it made us appreciate the warmth and dryness we usually enjoy.
