Hot beach day

There're tons of people flocked to the beach on the labor day weekend. The scene was jaw-dropping. The shoreline was packed with hundreds of beachcombers. We strolled along the south pier and stayed under the shadow of the lighthouse, watching all sorts of boats passed by and daydreaming our boat we'll have one day. It's amazing to see Elle's totally mesmerized by the passing-by boats.

Later on, we decided not to squeeze ourselves in through the sea of bodies to find a tiny spot on the beach to settle down, so we drove to the North Beach thinking there'll be fewer people there. We were totally wrong! Aside from the terrible traffic on the way to the North Beach, everywhere was packed with people, and we had spent at least half an hour circling around to spot for a parking space. Finally when we got our feet stepping on to the beach, holy moly, the sand was scorching hot and burning our feet! We tiptoed through the burning sand and quickly settled down near the water. It's a piping hot day and we're basking under a blazing hot sun. I squinted into the sun and wished we're laying under one of those beach umbrellas which was "abandoned" by the owners who rather baking under the sun. Quickly I slathered lots of sunscreen on Elle and off she went digging into the sand and spying on other kid's beach toys laying around. We sprinkled sand all over her feet and covered them with sand, enjoyed a cool dip into the water and walked along the shore. Elle seemed to be intimated by the crashing waves. She was scare and excited at the same time when she walked into the water towards me. She shrilled in joy when I got her hands and swept her up into the air. We had funs, but it's a little bit too hot for our liking.
