After playing in the water for a bit with my 8 yr old, 7 yr old, 3 yr old and holding my 2 yr old, and playing in the sand for awhile, i lay back on the towel next to my 10 week old baby and relaxed under the most beautiful blue sky with the gentle sound of waves rolling in and kids squeaking in happiness. It was really awesome. I feel bad we dont take advantage of one of the greatest resources in the world more often. Everyone should. Its an experience that you cannot get anywhere else. You just have to vacuum out the van when you get home. :) Tuesday evening, i got home from work and took the wife and kids down to the beach.
