I took the kids to a local (tiny) beach today after swimming lessons for a picnic lunch and some play time with friends. Luckily, I’m apparently much better at applying sunscreen to the kids than I am to myself. (Note to self: invest in a beach umbrella.)

It was a perfect day for the beach. Not terribly hot, sunny with a few clouds now and then for a bit of shade, and breezy. The kids had a blast, and we stayed much longer than planned…so our craft project of the day will have to happen tomorrow!
