Crashing waves.
Frothing, foamy, Neptune's white horses.
Gusting winds.
Sand blowing diagonally through the air.
Squeals of laughter from a gleeful and playful family enjoying the abandoned swathes of golden sands.
All that squelchy sand is a blank canvas for running, jumping and falling over in.
And do you know where he went after he's verified how saturated and sand encrusted his gloves were?
Yep, right to 'give mummy a cuddle'.

You summed it up in those few words.
Love all the photos.

The beach is always a favourite for family fun in our house and it looks like you had a lovely time too. Thanks for linking up and sharing your fun with Country Kids.
Becky Cowley says
I am so jealous you live so close to the beach! What a fab post! The beach can be enjoyed in any weather!
LauraCYMFT says
That does look fun! We stay near a beach but haven't been able to visit it yet!
Emma TheMiniMesAndMe says
He is looking so grown up here!! His all in one looks so cost despite the cold weather and I love that he hugged you when covered in sand hehe x
Sara (@mumturnedmom) says
Of course he came and gave you a hug! Covered in mud/yogurt/snot/anything sticky? That's when mummy cuddles are the best 🙂 Fabulous beach, once the snow goes, I want to start going to the beach again, I love it in the winter when it's windswept and quiet. Gorgeous photos, and like Emma I was just thinking how grown up The Boy was looking x #CountryKids
Alexandra Mercer says
Oh I bet you loved that cuddle! #CountryKids
Charly Dove says
Beautiful post, wonderful words and fabulous photos. I love your beach – it always looks so good whatever the weather. Love that one of The Boy looking directly at the camera 🙂
Kriss MacDonald says
You've captured beautifully in your post and wonderful photos the joys of a beach no matter what the weather.

Wee man loves the beach too! He loves getting his hands into the sand too and refuses to wear gloves so gets well cold. This looks like a fab day. I like how you describe yourself as a playful family…sounds like my kind of family 🙂
