By Tuesday, the weather on the Cape was finally beach-worthy. So we packed up our family trucksters (all three of them) and headed to Sandy Neck Beach. As advertised, Sandy Neck Beach was sandy. So the kids immediately set out to build a sandcastle. After 45 minutes, their masterpiece was complete -- including a dinosaur-filled moat, yellow and pink snakes, and Fisher-Price Little People.
Morgan and Cooper spent a lot of time in the water. As the tide rolled in, Morgan loved bobbing up and down in the waves. She squealed (and I quote), "I'm going up and down so much I'm going to shoot my cookies."
After lunch, Cate and Gwen decided (on their own) to take a break from the sun and sand. Apparently, the felt like they needed a little "girl" time to chill out in the tent and blow bubbles.
Sandy Neck Beach is obviously sandy. But, as Morgan and Cooper discovered, it's also rocky. So while the little kids played, the two big kids explored up and down the beach, looking for colorful rocks to bring home for their collections.
After a long, hot day at the beach, we cooled off with ice cream at Smitty's in Barnstable.
