Yesterday I realized it is probably one of the last days we would have very summery weather. It was somewhere in the upper 80s and 90 so instead of just staying inside to avoid the heat, I decided we should do the best thing we can do on a hot day - hit the beach!
(If you are wondering about the umbrella, I made the mistake of picking a cheap one out at Walmart...this was our first time using it and it broke as soon as I took it out! It still worked as a small shade spot for Miss Lorelei so I didn't have to worry about too much sun.)
This was decided during morning nap, so quickly got everything ready and we headed out as soon as Lorelei woke up. We were so excited to see that tourist season is definitely over! Those of you who have been here are probably shocked at how empty the beach was. Lorelei was one of the only children there, so got doted on by all of the other beach bums that day. As usual, we went back and forth between the sand and the water, which felt great! As usual, she also ate her weight in sand! What fun can you have at the beach if you are constantly telling her no though? So I just say yucky a few times and then give up and figure its an early lunch. ;) We even had one little boy come and play with us for a while.
It was a great way to spend the day and we are so thankful to be able to make a trip to the beach on a whim like that. Looking forward to the Sandcastle competition this weekend!
