We went to the BEACH!

The term "beach" really does not go with a city like "Toronto", but we do have several small ones around our lakes, and if you're lucky, you get to visit on a day when visitors are minimal.  I love going to the beach at Sutton in the Fall, because there are barely any visitors and I get to take lots of pictures of the trees in their beautiful fall colors.  However, for young kids, the term "beach" equates "sand + water = fun"; so I guess we had to try it out at least once this summer (but "I'll be staying inside the tent, away from the sun", I said this before our trip and I kept this promise to myself.  I'm not going to waste my skincare / whitening products on one trip to the beach... NO WAY!).

We were so excited!
The girls started their day playing in the sand.

Then Kate decided to do a "facial".
... followed by Mackenzie.
Mackenzie was hauling this heavy bucket around, filled with water and sea snails.

Mackenzie fell into the water not long after she got in, so for the entire visit, she had to hold our hands and wouldn't go any deeper than knee-high.
Their beach ball finally found its true purpose.
Big sister Kate offered to let Mackenzie ride on her.
The girls offered daddy a muddy foot scrub.
Aww... sisterly love... you don't get to see a lot of that around here.
And I got to stay away from the sun when I'm not taking pictures... the best spot on the beach!
