Finally, The Beach

This Spring has been unusually cold. Last year, we were on the beach by Mother's Day--but not this year. In fact, the weather has been pretty wretched until recently. But I think that summer is finally here. The kids and I headed with a friend to Cave Rock today and it was great---the kids played and played and played. Louisa was a great sport and happily played in the sand---this child puts nothing in her mouth, nothing---not even food---it's pretty amazing---I sat her in the sand, and she just played with the sand, picking up little rocks and everything, but never once put anything in her mouth--crazy. Laney and Elliot had a blast playing with their buddy, jumping into the water, running everywhere and rolling around in the sand.

After the beach, we headed to another friend's house to play in the sprinklers and slip-and-slide. No one napped today and the kids were exhausted, but again, super well behaved and very happy.
