Beach Day

Last year we didn't go to the beach at all. I think it was a combination of Nate getting ready for Alaska, a mild summer, and Felix being a difficult age for the beach. This year we are trying to make up for last year's lack.

We decided to try a single-day beach trip. We woke up in the morning, packed all our stuff, drove the 2.5 hours to the beach, spent five hours playing, packed up, ate dinner, and drove 2.5 hours back. Some people might think think was a little crazy, but it really worked for us. The beach with little children is not relaxing. It is fun, but it is a lot of work, and 5 hours was enough. We'd do the one-day trip again.

Behold! The happiest child in the world:

Beckett is notorious around here for hating to be cold. After a bath he shivers his way back to his room taking the tiniest, shuffling steps and muttering about how cold he is the entire way. Then he likes to sit in front of the heater for as long as I'll let him. None of this seemed to matter at the beach.

We even got a rare shot of all four of us:
