What does one do on a chilly, but sunny day in NJ? Why go down the shore of course. We went to Sandy Hook, which is not my favorite, but was closest and we weren't swimming anyway since the water was so cold there was actually pain when I stuck my toes in. (The water feels dirtier there since the New York skyline is visible from the beach. I've taken the ferry often enough across the Hudson to know what's in that water. It's not something I want to swim in.)
Okay, first up. The guys went for a walk down the beach and came back with a toy tug boat, a bouquet of flowers and some oranges and bananas.
Caleb stomping about. Because that's what Calebs do.
J making a sand angel. Of course.
Closer inspection of the toy tug boat revealed that three saints had been glued to it. I am SO curious about the story behind this. 100 points to the person who can explain it to me!
Caleb, chasing the sainted boat in the painfully cold water.
Right after I snapped this picture Todd, J, and my father in law started running and singing the "Chariots of Fire" theme song. They warm my frozen little heart sometimes.
Nathaniel. Not only in the freezing water. But in the freezing water with nothing but shorts on. There was screaming and crying involved upon heading back to the car. We are mean, mean parents.
Boys playing in the sand on a sunny day!

I love the beach in the spring and fall! No crowds to run over our sand castles!
thanks for the virtual mini-vacation! :)
One of my favorite posts, even if it makes me insanely jealous. I love getting to know J through picures. If we weren't saving up for a house, I would totally come visit. I miss you guys!
Houses are totally overrated.
