On the way home from preschool today, my very smart daughter said; "Mama, the blue sky is out. Can we go to the beach today?" (by the way, we woke up to a dusting of snow this morning) My first thoughts of course were all the things that needed to get done, lunch, naps, cleaning and on and on, but then the smarter side of my brain kicked in and I said yes, if the sun was still out after lunch. I'm soooo glad it was, we had a wonderful afternoon and I've decided we definitely need to seize the sun more often!
Cassidy never slowed down and neither did Mossy! Echo loved being around and in the water and kept close to her girl
The twins loved being out, not a peep out of them despite missing naps...there were quite a few excited kicks and head swivels as they were trying to keep track of all the action After an hour and half at the beach they were sound asleep before the 5 minute drive home (Rylee is in the backpack, Sawyer in the front)
Despite Cass saying "I promise I won't go swimming or get in the water" in response to my warning of it being pretty cold to go to the beach she amazed me by repeatedly giggling when waves came up over her boots. "Isn't that cold" I asked her..."Nope" was the reply but she added "I think my tights might be wet". Tights? She didn't even wear a dress to school today, where did the tights come from? Wet tights (and boots and pants) didn't slow her down though
We did have to strip down to panties and shirt to make the trip home and I have a whole extra pile of laundry but I wouldn't have traded this afternoon for anything...definitely the good stuff!
