20 Minutes From the Beach

With two of Hannah and Ben's grandparents living down south where it's warm, there's a lot of bragging going on by them. Now it's Hannah and Ben's turn. On Monday the 15th we went to the beach with some friends. It's only 20 minutes away! I don't think you can say that Grandma H and Groompa! Personally, I also think it's much better than the ocean. No big waves, no salt water, and no walking half a mile through sand to find a good spot near the water.

After getting all lotioned up (except for mommy-my back looks like a fried tomato) and eating lunch we went for a swim. Like everything, Ben was alittle nervous at first, but then loved it.



The entire swimming area has an average depth of maybe a foot and half, with two and half feet being the deepest. This is perfect for a three year old. The water was nice and clear, with soft sand on the bottom.


When not in the water Hannah and Ben played with other kids in the sand. There was a lot of going back and forth to the water. Ben entertained the whole crowd by doing his baby yoga in the sand. My camera phone battery died before I could get a picture of it. He sticks his arms on the ground in front of him, his feet in back, and pushes his butt up in the air, and buried his head in the sand. He held the position for about three minutes.
