Sand and Surf


We went to the beach today. Lake Erie, Vermillion Ohio, Volunteer Bay beach area to be exact.

85 degrees and blue skies. Too hot for my blood. But, I suppose it wasn't about me.

The boy had a great time. From digging, to driving trucks in the sand and the big hole, to looking for shells, to floating in the water, running along the shore, acting like a dog, running up the steps, etc.

None of it held his interest for long. It was non stop from one thing to the other and back again.

We had fun, oh sure. Could I ever see myself doing this every day? No. Could I ever see myself vacationing on a beach? Highly unlikely.

He dumped sand on his friends head. He got a time out. ON THE BEACH.

Miraculously they said they wanted us to come back up again soon. And we will. It was a good time and the boys played great together, except for the whole time out ON THE BEACH thing.

Good news is that I'm feeling good about Weight Watchers. Had an excellent and super motivating meeting this morning. So, maybe someday I will get in a bathing suit and in the water with him. Maybe someday I will be back in front of the camera instead of always behind it. And maybe someday I will want to take a beach vacation. Maybe. Someday. Maybe.
