Baby at the Beach

We took a road trip this week. We loaded the triple threat into the SUV and headed for the beach. It was the first time the baby had been up close to the sand and surf.

It is quite an undertaking packing their food, drinks, sunblock, diapers, pull-ups, big girl panties, clean clothes, beach towels, and pajamas, but I got it done and off we went.

It is not the least bit relaxing to spend the day at the shore with our kids. But the 3 year old declared. "she could spend all day in the ocean". The 2 year tentatively explored the water and ran free on the sand. And the baby was occupied for hours with a simple shovel and a bucket.

Less than five years ago we were married on this very same beach.

Wow.
