We spent Monday of spring break at the beach. It actually went much better than I thought it would. I guess I've learned to go into adventures like that with low expectations. We pulled up and I was pleasantly surprised to see a mom with four kids as well. It was a blessing compared to our bookstore outing.
Lydia surprised me the most by loving the beach. I thought she would be glued to me the whole time. She loved the water even though it was freezing! I like the beach we go to because there are swimming buoys so the kids can't go too far. I even let Tanner and Gemma go in without life jackets every now and then. We stayed a lot longer than I anticipated, which meant we were having a blast.
Gemma chased the seagulls for most of the time. Ashton found some friends (surprise!) and swam with them in the ocean. Tanner went between loving the beach and then not loving it.
We got back home and cleaned out the pounds of sand that came home with us. The little girls took extra long naps, which was nice. The big kids ran off to play with neighbor kids while I worked on the garden beds. It was a peaceful afternoon.
