Beach Day

This blog should have gone up over a month ago, but it just didn't. Oh well. The kids and I went to a fun little beach with some friends and were there all day. A friend of a friend invited us to come to her cottage where it was so nice to have a bathroom for the kids and a nice, clean place to make lunch. All of the kids had a great time at the beach (there's just something about digging in the sand and having unlimited access to water), but I couldn't believe how much Trevor enjoyed it! Usually when he's in his swim suit, I have to worry about him scratching his legs until they bleed (his eczema is so bad that I have to keep him in one piece pajamas all the time or watch him very closely when he has jeans on- never shorts!) But he was so busy that he never even tried to scratch his legs. The kids dug and built and swam for 5 or 6 hours with a short break to eat and they still protested when it was finally time to leave saying that we hadn't been there very long.

We stopped at a little cheese shop which also sold ice cream on the way home and the kids enjoyed a little pre-dinner dessert. (Trevor can't have cow milk, so he enjoyed a cone all by itself)
