Coligny Beach

  The beach was gorgeous. The weather was beautiful. It was cloudy, but it was warm... and the water was the perfect temperature. We couldn't ask for much better conditions. The kids were so happy to be on the beach. Kate was in Heaven running in the waves. She still has that unique joy that only little bitty kids have -- This complete sense of wonder of the ocean. The big kids loved it too - although they weren't as exuberant about running out into the water. They wanted to play in the sand. We made Rachel a mermaid on the beach and Noah dug his traditional hole. Although, he didn't bury himself this year -- Perhaps it was because the sand was wetter and harder to dig up then the dry soft sand of beaches past. Noah and Doug threw the football while the girls played in the sand. One nice thing about Coligny Beach is that there is a fountain for the kids to play in after you come off the beach and it helps rinse off any rogue sand that snuck past the sprayers. LOVED our time together.
