Beach Trip 2010

As many of you know, we took a beach trip the second weekend of the month.  This was the second year that we've taken a summer beach trip and the kids love it.  Truth be told... so do I!  Here's what we learned this year:

Beach Trip Lesson #1--Your two year old that has been doing awesome potty training will suddenly revert when you pack primarily big girl pants.

Beach Trip Lesson #2-- Sand WILL be EVERYWHERE!

Beach Trip Lesson #3-- Don't just put sunscreen on your nose.  There are other parts of your body that can, and will, BURN!

Beach Trip Lesson #4--  Some loads of laundry will have to go through the laundry twice.

Beach Trip Lesson #5--Watching your 4 year old play on the beach will be like a re-enactment of Lord of the Flies.

Beach Trip Lesson #6-- If you go on vacation with the right attitude, you can actually wear your kids out before they wear you out.

Beach Trip Lesson #7-- There's nothing so entertaining as throwing baby jellyfish back into the ocean.

Beach Trip Lesson #8-- Packing food from home is awesome!  Love beach foods like soup and chili and  juice boxes...

Beach Trip Lesson #9-- Flying kites is soooo much fun.

Beach Trip Lesson #10-- Beach, wave chasing, pool= relaxing and exhaustion.  Your drive home will be very peaceful.

Lydia loves having her feet buried in the sand.
