Wow...it's been a long time since I've written "Beach Day" as a title. But we did just that today. We just couldn't pass up the nearly 50 degree weather, sunshine, and smells of spring. We are far from spring, and I know this is a little tease, but it is so nice to smell grass and sunshine. The two feet of snow we got last week has already melted down to a couple of inches. In some places, green grass is showing and our plants have remained alive under the blanket of snow. We hung laundry on the line, aired out some blankets, played in the sandbox, and headed to the beach. The little one really tried to wear her swimsuit and bring her "beach towels" but with my persistent "Goober...it will be cold at the beach!!!" seemed to finally get through to her.
The beach proved to be warmer than expected. Her jacket was soon stripped off and the extra pair of pants I brought came in very handy. Sandcastles were made, heart rocks were found, dump trucks raced the beach, and one sunny day was thoroughly enjoyed. There's nothing better than that!
