Memorial Day = Summertime

To kick off the weekend, I decided to conquer my first solo trip to the beach with the kiddos. I am even more in love with our little bay spot as our family grows. It makes beach trips so easy. Here's where we park (see the rockin minivan in the background). The kids help me unload and clean up. I can click open the door from my beach chair and send one of them to get something for me. Or send one of them to timeout in there. Yes. Free parking, no long trecks across sand, no crowds. It's so quiet and peaceful here. Back home, the kiddie pool was set up and warmed by the morning sun. So easy to clean the kids before naptime. The car though... oh man. I guess summertime is here. Time to get used to sand in carseats, on my kitchen floor, in my bed...
