A couple days ago, we had the awesome opportunity to spend the day by the Red Sea. We loaded into a bus with all the new staff and heading out early in the morning for the day. It was a fabulous day (even though we faced some discrimination by the resort because we had children - I always hate that when it happens).
The kids were both so excited to spend the day in the water. Princess is becoming quite the little swimmer and Dimples loves to sit in the sand and make sand piles. The beach was covered in soft sand and extremely warm water. It was such a great way to spend the day! I do not think the kids left the water for more than 10 minutes all day, and, I am pretty sure that we used 1 entire bottle of sunscreen because it was SO hot that day. But, no one was burnt and the kids still talk about heading back to the beach.
Probably the highlight of the day for Princess was the creation of multiple sand castles. Mostly, they were sand piles with gates and windows and flags, a moat and, of course seashell decorations. Hubby and a friend were creating a "mancave" castle and Princess decided to decorate it with seashells and coral as well...much to their dismay. Sandshark (a family tradition) also made an appearance on the beach that day.
I love that we are able to get in a car and head out to the beach with less than a 2 hour drive. Perhaps this may be a more common excursion for us this year. Who knows? Enjoy the pictures!
