An afternoon at the beach


We took a break from thinking about packing and moving yesterday afternoon, and headed down to the little beach in downtown P.A. It is quite ironically named "Hollywood Beach," but it has sand, water and is only a couple miles from our house so it works for us. Kate wanted to wear her rain boots so she could wade in the ocean and, of course, she ended up getting wet all over and having to ride home without pants. She was eyeing the "big kids" who were wading out far deeper than she could and saying, "mommy, I do that." Mommy said maybe after some swim lessons! Plus, it was only a bit over 60 degrees but kids never seem to mind the frigid water, do they? After digging and wading, we checked out some ships that have docked by the pier, played at the little park (Hollywood Park?) and took a walk on the paved trail that Kate usually sees from the stroller. All in all, a great afternoon which reminded me to appreciate the unique parts of P.A.!
