Another beautiful day! I spent the early part of the day in the gardens while Sean was shoveling dirt and the boys were playing. Then after lunch we decided to take a family walk down to the beach. It just doesn't get better than that! It was low tide again and all 3 kids were just in heaven. The tide was low enough and we walked quite a ways that we saw lots of sand dollars. We kept collecting the clam shells and there were so many that had both sides of the shell.
As we got further down the beach I noticed a big bulge in the sand and stepped on it. Well when I did that a bunch of water shot up. Sean looked over and quickly got down and started digging. He dug up a HUGE clam! The kids thought this was amazing and started finding holes and digging up more clams. That is one thing that I have never done and it was a lot of fun. I don't remember seeing clams that are that big and we all wondered what people do with clams that big. I know that I prefer the little clams for eating but maybe this is something I need to look into. The kids and I would have a fun time digging for clams and if we got to eat them that would be even better.
Well we walked some more and I commented to Sean how after all the digging we had 3 kids with wet sandy butts. It was a pretty funny sight. Everybody was happy and enjoying themselves and we hiked back home to run through the sprinkler. Right now Sean it putting some burgers on the barbecue and our fireworks are all set out and ready to be let off. The kids are beyond excited for the fireworks and that's all we have heard the last few days. I hope everyone has a safe and fun 4th!
