last week we went with our friends jenna, zoe, and eli to chatfield state park. they have a beach there with sand and all. the water is only about 1-2 feet deep. i was a bit nervous about taking all three to the water. but jenna was a great help. and the kids ended up playing in the sand more than wanting to go in the water. i bought some arm swimmy thingies and as you can see from the picture of marin, they were a bit too large. poor thing couldn't move her arms! as soon as we had them on, marin started walking right out into the water. since there were lots of waves from all the people she pretty quickly fell over, went under, swallowed a big gulp and started crying. kinda scared me. that was about it for her water experience. townsend and ellory were a little more steady but near the end of our time ellory went out a little farther, stumbled and fell backwards. the arm things kept her from going under but she too got a little scared and came out. even though i'm not a big beach person, it was fun. and the kids had a great time. we'll have to take daddy next time. :)
