The weather this winter has been really amazing so we thought we would take Charlie for his first beach day. Though going to the beach with an infant takes a lot more work and planning than it did when it was just Dan and I! First we had to outfit Charlie for the trip- Swim Trunks, Rash Guard, Sun Hat, Sunglasses and Baby Sunscreen... Then we had to pack to make sure he had a safe place to lie down- 2 beach blankets, huge umbrella for over the blankets and smaller umbrella for over the chairs.... Then we had to pack to make sure he had a fun time- Waterproof books, toys and lovies... Plus lets add all his normal supplies we have to have with us just to leave the house- extra diapers, wipes, clothes, first aid supplies, binkies... needless to say by the time we had our wagon all packed up for the walk to the beach it was already afternoon!!! But it was worth the effort to introduce him to one of Dan and my favorite things to do- spend a lazy Saturday at the Beach!
We really are so lucky to live so close to the beach!!! It is days like this that remind me just how much I love our life and our family of 3!
