the beach

On Sunday we took an impromptu trip to the beach....of sorts. It's just a reservoir with a small beach, but it's a beach, nonetheless, and Rachel loved it. We didn't have plans to swim--the water was really cold--we just thought she'd enjoy playing in the sand (which she did). But she also plopped herself down right at the edge of the water, so she rode home with a towel in her car seat. But she had a great time.

I couldn't find her beach hat (we were leaving in a hurry) so I had to use this much-too-big-for-her hat that I ran across. I thought it looked hilarious, but she kept it on and it did its job!
