Beach Days

The beach at Emma Long Metropolitan Park is one of our favorite places in Austin. Today marked exactly 5 months since our last trip to our favorite beach. Fall and Winter are short in Austin, and that's the way we like it.





We arrived at noon and quickly set up our beach blanket for our picnic lunch. The buddies were too excited to eat. It had been five long, cold months since the last time they'd played with their sand toys, and they were ready.




They built sand castles and carried lake water to their water pit to their hearts' content. Then, they collected shells and threw rocks in the water. And the boat watching was fabulous - a few brave crews were already out with their skis. The water was still quite cold, but as the day grew warmer and warmer the buddies splashed deeper and deeper into the cool lake.





Here's to another 7 months of water fun!
