I'm sure I've seen the advice on Pinterest somewhere. We were all restless, and they cried for the beach, and I didn't really care either way, and so I just went with awesome and we landed there.
The water was still and billowing slowly like the sheet I shook out on the sand to sit. And we played until sunset.
We don't live near the beach, but we have a friend who has a villa at the beach and earlier this summer we were the same way and so I packed them up all by myself and we went to the beach. For a week. A whole week with just me and the four of them. Everyone thought I was nuts (including myself at times), but we ended up having the absolute best time and I would do it again in a heartbeat.
ReplyDeleteAlso? All of your kids are fabulous, but Ivy just steals my heart.
We were beach bums today, too. My people are sleeping hard.
ReplyDeleteMy new motto. :)
ReplyDeleteAhh! I was just thinking today how I'm homesick for Lake Michigan. There's nothing quite like the beach! Beautiful pics!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could have joined you. There will be lots of other times though. Glad you decided to go. Happy faces!
ReplyDeleteLove.

I love your beach pictures. Why does it always appear that you are the only people there? :)I never see anyone else in the background. Feels like you guys are on your own private little beach. :)
ReplyDeleteWe go after 5 usually- so it's practically empty!!!
