This summer we have been taking trips to the beach, pond, and lake. Every time it is a blast. The kids have the greatest time just playing in the sand, and swimming out in the shallow water. It is the easiest and most relaxing activity for us, since every one is happy, everyone gets along, and no one fights or argues! Even little Anna is starting to get used to the sand. At first, she was trying to wipe if off, and making unsatisfactory noises. But today she played in it. She also triumphantly tromped along in the water, and smiled; holding my hand of course.
The seen is the same every time we've gone. The three boys playing in the sand at the water's edge, with their shovels and buckets. They build castles, and dig holes. They take trips in to the water to fill the buckets, and dump water on their creations. Sometimes they meet other kids to play with and they all play together.
Then they swim, and my oldest practices floating. They are not afraid of the gentle water. No matter what, I love the beach!
