Ginowan Seaside Park/Tropical Beach

We ventured out to Ginowan Seaside Park today.  We've never been there.  If I had, I definitely would have brought the stroller.  It was a huge park, great for biking, walking/jogging, playing ball, etc.  There were wide paved paths and we saw many kids on their tricycles pedaling about.  Adam would walk/run about 20 feet, get distracted by a pretty flower, a fellow pedestrian, a pond, a piece of trash...and would promptly wander off or better yet, sit down.  This made for a long walk to the beach.  Luckily, we found a playground to explore for a few minutes.

Mary made a new friend on the see saw.

Adam was fearless through this tunnel...even when his leg fell through.  The Japanese parents were impressed, so was I.

We finally wandered further down the path and found the beautiful beach.  Tropical Beach.

The sand was super soft, the water a beautiful teal and the sky a clear blue.  It truly was tropical.

I loved just sitting in the warm sand watching the kids play together.  I had such a sense of peace and contentment.  Aahh.

Adam showed me a handful of sand.  I said, "Hey!  You're a big boy now.  You didn't immediately eat it!"

WRONG!  Mary said, "I guess he's not old enough yet."

Good thing he's so gosh darn cute...and the sand passes easily through his digestive tract.

My happy little sand digger.
