Our building was under maintenance today and therefore our air conditioning and hot water would be shut off all day. Given the heat index was about 105 yesterday I decided it was a MUST to flee the apartment ASAP. But what to do? The pool doesn't open until noon. Shopping centers don't open until 10. The park is a million degrees. So I decided to bite the bullet and attempt the beach with two small children for the first time.
We headed out to Oseto Beach, about an hour's drive south of here. It's a popular surfing spot and with the aftermath of the typhoon that is crashing into China right now, it was a spectacular day for surfers and beach goers. It more or less drizzled the whole time but when you're wet, sandy and covered in spit up, who cares?
Below are a couple of pictures from our first trip to Oseto in February when my mom was out here. I remember it being about 40 degrees and super windy. Today it was about 80 degrees and just as windy!
Look at that little dude!

Elin set out to build Elsa's ice castle. She "melted" it by pouring buckets of water over it...
again...
and again...
and again...
and again.
At least she has a work ethic.
We also had snack time. Squeezies and apples just don't compare to fresh sand. Something about that crunch.....
One thing that is fun about this beach is the amount of sea glass and sea porcelain that washes up on its shores. I've seen sea glass before but this was definitely my first experience with sea porcelain. Isn't it cool?
Overall a good outing. The kids were exhausted, I was exhausted and yet no one managed to practice the fine art of a nap the rest of the day. Oye.
