Beach

Mike looked at me the other day and said “We should go to the beach Thursday night when I get home from work.” At first I thought he was crazy. That time of day is when the kids are at their worst. Sorry, it’s true. Everyone is tired, hungry and cranky. The beach isn’t really my thing. Well, I’ll rephrase that, a crowded beach isn’t really my thing. But…the beach on a Thursday night after everyone has gone home…? Sure!!! I decided to just try it out. If the kids were terrible we just wouldn’t do it again. Well, the beach gods were on our side because we had the best time! 

We stopped at McDonalds on the way there and then hit the beach. This is a win in my book! I didn’t have to cook or pack food!! 

Last year Kensington was still very much a baby when we went to the beach so this was her first REAL experience. I think she’s hooked. She was amazed by the seagulls, who if you ask me, seemed to be on steroids! They were MASSIVE! I guess they eat well down here on the “upper cape”. I should’ve gotten a picture.

When Mike got home he surprised the kids with new beach toys! 

My crew

Uncle Jim tagged along as well. I have to say, it’s a good thing he did. We are severely outnumbered and until the kids get a little bit older I think things like this are always going to involve at least an extra set of hands. Plus, they adore Uncle Jim! How could they not?! He only has the coolest YouTube channel there is!!

Summer 2016 is off to a great start! I’m looking forward to many more nights like this. We’re thinking about making it a weekly thing. Grab food and head to the beach at least one night a week after Mike gets home. I’ve definitely had a change of heart. With this crew….I love the beach! (Now if only I could lose the baby weight so I’d be comfortable at the beach in a bathing suit.)
