It's supposed to be winter, but...

It's gorgeous outside!
 So the girls and I headed to the beach.
 First things first, Grace got her big shovel and started digging in the sand.
 Some of the sand flew off the end of her shovel.
 But she managed to get most in her bucket.
 The rest landed on Faith, but she didn't seem to mind.
 So I pulled her out, dusted her off, and put her on a blanket to play.
 And she loved it!
 Then I helped Grace build a sand castle.  She packed her bucket full of sand and I dumped it out.
 Then she found sticks and made bridges.
 Grace even found a leaf and made a flag.  She's so creative!
 Here's our "tassel" (castle) in all its glory.
 Meanwhile, Faith really enjoyed the breeze blowing through what little hair she has.
And Grace went exploring and came marching back with a stick. 
 A big stick.
 A really big stick!
 And she found all kinds of uses for that stick.  Like drawing in the sand.
 And dancing around like the natives.  She just needed a bonfire to shimmy around...
 Spearhunting.  Or in her case, stick hunting I suppose.  She didn't manage to catch and keep her shadow in spite of the many, many attempts she made.  I think she's starting to realize she's no Peter Pan...
 Grace really had a grand time today at the beach.
And so did Faith. 

Only here in the South can we enjoy such a beautiful day of sunshine in the middle of December...
