Beach Bums







I was able to take the kids to Hunting Island for the day and we had a blast! We brought lunch and ate in the picnic area near the lighthouse. Afterwards we went swimming, digging, and hunting for shells. The boys also came up with a fun game. It was called: sling mud at each other until we get it in our eyes. Fun for them, NOT fun for me! This was the first summer outing we were able to go on since school got out. It is too hard to do things like this when I am watching baby Alex, so on the rare occasion that I don't have her, we have to take advantage! It was A LOT of work, (being by myself with all the kids at the OCEAN) but thankfully they are all getting old enough that I don't have to worry about them too much!

I always imagine myself doing fun things like taking my kids to the beach alone, then I think about the work and completely chicken out. Target is about all I can handle. You are a great mom!

The kids look wonderful! Looks like a fun day at the beach. I feel pretty bold taking Samantha around... but I don't think I could do four kids at the beach sans-husband.

Bravo!

Now, can you load them on a plane to Ireland with you for a visit? :-)
