First of all, Happy Father’s day to **this guy**
Eddie decided that for Father’s Day this year he would like to take an impromptu family trip to the beach. Needless to say, he didn’t meet much resistance.
We are very fortunate that my mom owns a beachfront condo and it was available for us to use this weekend.
You can’t beat waking up to this
We spent a lot of time with our toes in the sand
and discovering new things
And the beach is private enough that I wasn’t too concerned about being in the swollen, bloated, I don’t look pregnant yet, I just look fat stage.
Thanks mom!
It’s a long drive with little kids, but we had a great time at the beach and the pool all day on Saturday and we ordered steamed crabs as a special Father’s Day treat.
I also wanted to share a mom tip that I stole from a complete stranger a few years ago: If you have young kids, take a baby pool to the beach. Our kids didn’t play in it too much this year, I think Nick is outgrowing the idea, but for two years in a row it was seriously a life saver. We just use our buckets to fill it with ocean water. It’s much easier to keep an eye on little ones, safer than the strong current in the ocean, and the water gets heated from the sun pretty quickly so the kids can play longer without shivering.
I hope you had a great Father’s day weekend as well. And please let me know if you have any other beach tips for us!!
