Why haven't we done this sooner?

We woke up and Q2 suggested we go to the beach. Wow. What a great idea from a girl who only likes being in the water for about 5 minutes!

So we packed up and went to Sandy Point State Park with a gorgeous view of the Bay Bridge. Stopping along the way to get bagels for breakfast. Bagels and cream cheese for 3 of us, and a bagel with mayonnaise for Q2. It gave the cashier and the lady behind me pause to hear that I wanted a blueberry bagel with mayo. But whatever, I choose strange looks over crusty arms for Q2, since she doesn't tolerate milk protein well.

After that, we were on our way. Q2 she didn't go into the water, really, she loved the giant sandbox that was the beach.



She even loved being buried in the sand. We made "mermaid legs" for her, which cracked both C3 & Q2 up a bit.*



C3 enjoyed the water with C38, but also enjoyed the sand a lot ... she made sand dogs, and rolled around and generally just like running around in it. Although this photo makes it look like she ready to go home (she is), she really did have a great time.



*normally, we call "mermaid legs" the situation when both legs get stuck in one leg of an item of clothing ...
