We spent the last day of summer at the beach. It was a beautiful day, and we went with a friend and her two sons.
I haven't been to the beach for a full day in years, probably 30 at least. I've never been a beach person and get bored lying in the sand. However, my children adored it.
Except for the fact that my daughter got 10 mosquito bites when we hiked up to the rocks and she and I had to do a drugstore run for benydral spray. And that turned out to be quite fortuitous because my son then got stung by a bee on his hand, his first bee sting ever, and that benydral spray came in quite "handy."
Their friends taught them how to go crabbing and catch little crabs that hide in the rocks, using hot dogs and string. They saved them in a bucket and then let them go when they were finished.
They swam in the sea for the first time, clambered over huge rocks, dug in the sand and picked up seashells. I had forgotten how much fun it was to be a kid at the beach.
