I’m trying to make a point to get out with the kids this summer in spite of having a 1 year old who still naps 3 times a day and being hugely pregnant. I don’t want Chloe and Josiah to have to be cooped up in the house all summer just because I’m tired. So, we made a trip out to the beach near the Baker’s house last week to enjoy some fun in the water and sand.
It ended up being a little bit on the chilly side that morning, but my kids didn’t mind at all. They were splashing and having a grand old time even though I was wishing I had brought a sweatshirt! 🙂 The Bakers, who frequent the beach much more often than we do, we a little less enthusiastic about going in the water at first.
However, timing-wise it ended up being over Maddie’s first nap, so she was not particularly delightful… don’t let the picture fool you. She was happiest in the wagon as we were leaving the beach… See?
But the rest of the time she was mostly like this… haha!
I’m hoping to make it out to that beach again quite a few more times this summer, so Maddie is just going to have to tough it out. I think if I can get her into the water next time she’ll have a better time.
It is hard to imagine it being too cold for the beach when we are melting day after day down here! I wish we had a beach to go to. The splash pad in the park near here is almost finished, but I don’t know if they let adults in that!
