Here Comes Mr. Salty!

(That's what Matthew says when the waves roll in.)

Since our babysitter N is out of town, we decided to do a spur of the moment trip to the beach (Topsail -- our first time here).  The boys love the ocean -- and this time, the water is plenty warm enough to go in!  They especially like having us hold them while we stand in the waves.  (I'm kind of glad they want to be held, because the waves here are a bit rough.)

James also likes being allowed to throw sand. :)  The beach wasn't too crowded today, so he wasn't bothering anyone, as long as he didn't throw it into the wind.
