We went to Folly beach on Labor Day weekend. I always think we must go to beach at least one day each year, because both the kids and I love the beach. This year with my dissertation and everything else, the beach trip got postponed. Finally we made it. It was a one day trip but a good one.
We got to the beach around noon. We packed some sandwich and ate there so we can have more time playing. The girls were so excited! Iris was a little scared of the waves at the beginning, but she started to love it after a short while. Then we had to force her to hold our hands all the time since all she wanted was going deeper and deeper. Heidi was busy picking seashells and carrying water in her bucket from the sea to the shore. She dig a big hole then poured water in it. Iris joined her. They both played non-stop for a long time.
When Iris got tired, we tried to put her to rest. Of course no luck! She kept playing though she was sleepy. This hit of the day was the starfish. We found some starfish on the shore. They were all missing one or more arms. Heidi and Iris picked a few. They were excited. Heidi wanted to bring them home. But after I told her they can’t live in tap water, she agreed we should put them back into the ocean. She and me put them back to the ocean and wished them good luck.
