The Beach

This summer I have made it a goal to take the girls to the beach at least once a week. Unlike most goals I set for myself that generally fade away within a week or two of me setting them, like keeping up with endless laundry, this beach thing has been wonderful this summer. The kids play in the water and build sandcastles with lots of new friends that are also beach regulars, while I lounge in my chair and read books and magazines supervise. It works out quite well.
