Last week we had house guests and accompanied them to the Narragansett Beach. The tropical storms to our south were kicking up some abnormally high surf for us. It was a bit scary at times as the kids thought they could go out further and handle more than I was insisting they couldn't. I wouldn't let them past their knees and they still were drenched head to toe from waves crashing over them.
After spending a few minutes in the water, we played in the sand for the rest of the morning. I was grateful they were content because I didn't know how many more of the crashing waves my heart could handle.
Ruth and Claire had fun making sand castles and knocking them down.
This is Nate helping Drew build his award winning sand castle. He and Anne were having a contest.
I was teasing Elle because every time I tried to take her picture she was eating.
Here, Anne and Kate are hard at work on their sand "ship".
This is the first castle before Nate laid on it and it had to be rebuilt.
Here's Elle not eating! I had to get proof that she didn't eat the whole time.
Elle and Anne making a quick getaway as the water begins to encroach on their ship.

The second castle? cave? tunnel?
Anne-- Check out the waves behind her!
