Only at the beach...

can you drive 2.5 hrs one way, have a baby puke on you, use disgusting porta-potties, have all four of your kids cry at least once if not more, get sunbur, watch your umbrella blow away, get knocked down, have your foot/leg dragged on the rocks only to bleed and look like this:
and still it was a really great day.
I love our annual beach day for the following reasons:
  • it might be the only thing we do away from home with just our little family
  • the kids do not fight at all
  • the kids play together like the best friends that they won't admit they are
  • smelling the air
  • seeing the ocean stretch out in front of me, reminding me of how small I am
  • the breeze
  • it's the beach!

The kids did great as they do every year. They jumped waves, played in the sand and true to his ways Jman found some boys to build villages w/ in the rocks. Even Vman found a buddy for a little while.










A great day.
