I am not — and never have been a beach person. I certainly like to look at it, but something about the sand and salt water makes me feel filthy the entire time. But this Memorial Day, my bosom buddy Britni had me thinking differently. Good company, good food, perfect weather, plenty of shade, almost nobody else there and well-behaved kids all had me loving the beach. So I guess when the stars align, I actually am a beach person.
Micah started off the day digging up a pool for the kids to play in.
But then I turned it into a boat with masts and a sail.
The kids were into it. Especially the pirate sword fighting that we had to put a pretty quick stop to.
So I sidetracked them with a “who can find the biggest sand crab” contest. Who knew that a bucket with some sand and water and a bunch of sand crabs could entertain Icka for a really long time!
We ended up on a couple of walks down the beach. Usually the kids initiated them, and we had to run after the wanderers.
All in all — it was a really fun Memorial Day.
