Beach Day!

We were pretty lucky to score a nice parking spot going to the beach over Spring Break. We were so happy we had to take a picture. 

Mason's first time at the beach! He wasn't so sure about the sand. He did not want to get his toes in the sand. 

We went to Sanibel Island, which is know for the shells. Ryan's stance is dubbed the "Sanibel Stoop", which is the seashell searching stance. Ha! 

Pictures of the beach that don't do justice to the amount of shells there are! 

The kids LOVED the shells! I love experiencing new things with them. It warms my heart :) 

Mason wanted to spend most of his time on the blanket or in the chair with me. He did not appreciate the birds on the beach. Ha! He was scared of them, until I showed him that they are scared of us and I chased them. He thought that was really fun, so I'm sure people were laughing at me, carrying him and running at birds! 

We spent a couple hours here, Addison could have spent all day! She was having so much fun picking out shells. She had a whole bucket she wanted to bring home, we had to narrow it down. Ha! We do have a mason jar on our window sill of shells from Florida and sand from Mexico. 

Snacks at the beach! 

And good naps after! Both kids fell asleep right away. We drove up to Captiva just to see what there was to see. Not much. There is not much to see. Ha! There were tall shrubs or trees lining the roads on both sides so we didn't see much! But it was a nice trip anyways, we enjoyed the beach day!
