Salt Life

 Moving to Charleston, SC hasn't been too bad at all. :) It's the first time we have ever lived next to a beach. From our house to the beach is 7 minutes. It's AWESOME!! The first week we were here, (before Eric started work) we went to the beach twice a day. We went once in the morning to run and once in the evening. Now that Eric is working, the girls and I have been running each morning on the beach. Then about once or twice a week, we go and play at the beach with the boys too. Eric bought all the kids boogie boards, and they love it! There are a lot of shallow parts where Micah can run around and play. There are also little tide pools when the tide goes out that Micah loves to jump and play in. The sand is also fun for him.




Someone was fishing one evening we were there and caught this baby shark


Looking towards the pier




Micah and I built this sand castle 

The other kids came back from playing in the water and said it needed a moat.


They built a moat and made an opening to the ocean as the tide was getting near. They were excited when the water first started coming into their moat.

Then the water was getting higher so they were frantically digging deeper.


With their deeper moat, it lasted longer.

But eventually it washed away.

While digging, Tessa found a very pretty shell. Unfortunately, it had a critter in it. :)

I'm so jealous! I absolutely love the beach and it looks like that water is actually warm enough to go in, unlike the freezing water in Washington!
