Beach at Pineda de Mar

On Friday we spent the day swimming at our hotel pool and at the beach at Pineda de Mar. The waves were quite large so Piper napped in the afternoon while the older two played in the ocean. He was wiped out from almost drowning in the deep end of the pool. Seriously, that boy has come way too close for my comfort too many times. Kevin had to jump in and save him, which also ruined the point and shoot camera we had just bought to replace the one that was stolen in March as it was in his pocket still.

Here are the older two at the beach.


CJ didn't last long, but E kept playing in the waves.

Happy boy.

Beautiful day.

CJ the rock collector. He would find large rocks and bury them like treasure.

E just kept swimming...

Then we came back in the evening for a walk before dinner.

My three boys :)

We swam and played at the beach some more on Saturday morning and then headed back home, trying to avoid the traffic. We didn't end up avoiding much traffic, I think it's bad all weekend in summer. We sat a lot and got off the toll roads and went through many small villages... and basically spent all day Saturday to get home. I guess that's what we get for going south in summer with all the rest of France! It was worth it, and we had a really great time both in Barcelona and at the beach north of Barcelona in Pineda de Mar.
