A Day at the Beach

Today at the beach we:

~Enjoyed the little waves provided by a very windy day, making our lakeside swim beach seem more like a “real” beach–even if it was a bit harder to keep our hats on.

~Appreciated the ability of the natural world to provide hours of fun with so little effort (the baby could have thrown handfuls of rocks into the water all day)

-Realized that we don’t need to go buy special sand toys, when the children’s gardening tools work just fine at the beach as well.

-Noticed that there was a lot less crying, whining, or bickering than normal while we were out at the beach.  A great day for all.
