yami_samuraifloWe spend the day at the beach with the kids today, and I've got the sunburns to prove it. X_X
As it was, we had a rather cloudy day that started to get sunny in the middle of the afternoon, and I didn't think about putting cream before it was too late. *sighs* Ah, well. It's not like I'm the only one; I think everyone has some.
Still, it was a rather nice day. The kids played happily, trying to buy a sand castle (well, nephew tried to build one; his sister was more of the 'destroy them' mind XD), they went to put their feet in the water, and my nephew watered 'flowers' (sand drawings); it was really cute. =3
Myself, I had a moment of pure bliss and lot of fun singing 'Let's go fly a kite'... while playing with a kite. XD
I even went in the water a bit. Not too much, because the sea at Le Touquet is cold, but at least until it reached my thighs and even my hips when the waves were big enough. Maybe I would have tried swimming or at least going a bit further into the water had it not be time to go already. <.<
I also enjoyed watching large sand castles getting slowly erased by the sea, which reminded me of the ones we tried to do with my brothers as kids, and watched little fishes and shrimps darting in the 'bâches' left by the tides (little pools of water on the beach). I kinda regret we didn't have shrimping nets, so we could try to catch some.
I actually dislike seafood of any kind, but it would have been fun to try nonetheless. :)
So, a good day. I hope we'll be able to do it again in september. =3

Date: 2013-08-27 10:30 pm (UTC)Le Touquet is a good place, and not just for the beach; it got some beautiful, luxuary houses, and it's always a pleasure to pass them by. =3
Of course, it's not the best place ever if you enjoy bathing in the sea, 'cause it's on the Manche; as such, the water is never very warm. Still, it's a perfect place to go if you just want to spend a day at the beach (and it's definitely one of the closest we can reach).
