Today was in the high 80s and low 90s in Seattle. That was pretty warm. We took the opportunity to head over to Matthew's Beach, a beach on Lake Washington that the girls and I have gone to a couple of times in the past week, usually on weekday afternoons. Of course, today was a hot, sunny Saturday, so the place was packed. Naomi, seated in the back, was obviously struck by the difference in number of people from the other times we'd been there: "Oh my gosh," she said from her car seat as we pulled into the parking lot, "look at all the people!"
Hannah LOVES the beach. Today she was in the water up to her chin, jumping over the wavelets that came in. We did have to insist that she get out when her lips turned blue -- 90 degrees or not outside, Lake Washington doesn't get very warm this early in the summer. However, she and Naomi had a very fun time working on sand castles after their time in the water. Naomi really likes the beach, once she gets past the noise. The other people (especially kids) yelling and the waves coming in are overwhelming for her, but once she settled down she enjoyed herself thoroughly.
We're glad it's a 10 minute drive away, especially on days like today.
