Sopot

Sopot is a small city on the Baltic Sea. We went there in the middle of September for a couple of days. We loved it and had a great time! It was a bit cold, but we are Canadians, and we laugh in the face of cold beach weather!


Apparently, in the summer, Sopot is teeming with people. The man working at the information booth even went as far as to say that it is not a good place for children then because of the massive crowds. When we were there, I counted 30 people on the beach, and we were six of them. Not quite so busy in September!



This is a picture of my children seeing the ocean for the first time. They were very excited!



That is, until they got caught by a fisherman, and then the vacation came to an abrupt and tragic end.

Just kidding!







We played at the beach for hours. Quite a bit of that time was spent examining these non-stinging jelly fish.

I was happy for Owen to hold one.



I even encouraged him to try to learn about them.



However, I must admit, I was totally grossed out when he tried to kiss one!









Really, did you have to put the seaweed on your head?



Okay, so maybe it was a bit cold.



Krista made this lovely castle, despite the help she received from Michael.





My little sand monsters!



Sometimes, when your mom says you shouldn't do something, like stick your whole face in the sand, you should listen to her. Just sayin'.



By the end of our day at the beach, Mike was tuckered out!







You know it is getting chilly when the patio at the restaurant has blankets!









Despite the cold weather, Sopot was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Poland.
