A girl and her shovels |
We recently visited the beach (the kids and I and a friend). Audrey love playing in the water. Aaron stood back and watched, keeping out of the water as much as he could. Audrey played in the waves until she was shivering cold. It was a warm day, but the water here is still freezing cold.
I sat with Lila on our blanket. She wanted to use EVERY SINGLE shovel we had. I was trying to dig a hole for Audrey who had mentioned she wanted a hold to stand in. Lila kept grunting for my shovel. I'd give it to her to play with and grab another one to keep digging until she requested that one, too. She really enjoyed playing in the sand. It was probably a good 20 minute stretch before she finally shoveled some sand into her mouth and I had to end our sand play.
Despite having help, I think I will be taking all three kids to the beach for awhile. It would have been easier leaving Lila at home, but Thom was busy cleaning out the garage, so I couldn't argue with that. Plus Lila had a great time. I just wish I could have gotten more pictures of the kids in the water.
