As a family we LOVE going to the beach. We try to go often, after all, that's why we chose to live on the coast. Our closest beach is Mooloolaba Beach and so we often head there late afternoon to relax and wind down.
Yesterday I was a little tired and cranky, and so were the munchkins. So when Curly Haired Husband got home from work, he suggested we all go to the beach. I really couldn't be bothered, and I almost didn't go, nearly convincing myself that I needed 'me' time without any kids. (Why was I blaming the kids for my grumpiness?)
So being the awesome Man that he is,- Curly Haired husband gave me the option to stay home kid -free. As soon as he did, - I realised that I would be missing out on great family time, and I would probably still be miserable when they got home anyway. So I quickly got ready and jumped in the car with the excitedly noisy munchkins. I am so glad I did. As soon as we arrived, the magic of the beach took over and those waves washed away the cares of the day.
I loved watching my munchkins play and enjoy nature.
Miss 9 has recently been inspired by Soul Surfer and is learning to surf with her Daddy.
She is so fun to watch!
Now, my other little Miss enjoys the beach for other reasons........
See in her hand? She has a yummy pile of sand ready to pop in her mouth when I am not looking! She is sooo crazy, she just loves eating sand!
We enjoyed the beautiful colours of the sky as the sun set, and finally convinced the kids to get out of the water as it grew dark.
With take-away on the way home ( no cooking -yay!), I felt refreshed, renewed and grateful for another dose of the rejuvenating and calming powers of the Beach.
