A Beach Day is Always a Great Day!


Two Saturdays ago we went to the beach for our weekend adventure. We always love the beach!! Before we left we checked the tide tables and unfortunately, the tide was going to be high at our favorite beach, El Transito. The waves get really big at high tide and it's too dangerous for our little swimmers. We decided to go to our least favorite beach instead, Pochomil. The sand and waves there are fine, we really dislike how commercialized it is. The only way to access the beach is through one of the many restaurants. Here's how it happens. When we drive to the access road to the beach there are half a dozen guys at the gate that run up to your car telling you to follow them to their restaurant. They are all basically the same. It is nice that you get free covered parking right there on the beach but you do have to order food that is mediocre at best. We are more of the pack sandwiches and bottled water beach minimalist types. It was a fun day anyway!





The boys out catching some waves

About an hour before sunset we noticed a tent set up on the beach renting 4 wheelers to the beach-goers. We weren't planning on renting one but just thought we would inquire about the price. Mitchell found out it was only $8 for 30 minutes! We couldn't pass that up. Mitchell, Redick, and Audrey took a 15 minute run up the beach and back. Then Reid, Layne, and I took our 15 minute turn. 





Now I know how this boy got SO sandy!

Redick learned how to cross his eyes and can't take a normal picture anymore!

Learning craziness from his big brothers!

Oh it was such a fun day!!
