My little poser

A few weekends ago we went to Ocean Shores with my family. When we woke up on Saturday morning the weather was horrendous. Raining and windy and just plain nasty. We were thinking that if it was that nasty here, it would be even worse there, but we didn't want to be party poopers and the kids were super excited so we decided to be good sports and do it anyway. It turned out to be a good call because it was a gorgeous day at the beach. About an hour after we arrived, the clouds parted and the sun made it's glorious debut. The kids played in the sand all day. Tom, Oliver, Chris & Cohen were the only ones brave enough to stick their feet in the water. We made brats and burgers on a little grill and had yummy salads, chips and treats. By the time we packed up to leave everyone was sunburned, windburned and ready for a shower and a soft bed to lay down on. It was a really fun day and another great memory. Oliver asked me the next day if the beach was only open on Sundays? I said no, the beach is open every single day. He thought that was pretty cool and has mentioned a couple of times since then that the beach is open every day (unlike the fair or the pumpkin patch that is only open a few weeks a year and then you have to wait till next year to go again). We will definitely be doing it again next year.
