Day at the beach

My husband and I took the girls on what I like to call "our annual trip to the beach." We live near a beach, but I hate sand. Specifically, I hate sand-covered kids. Sand in the bathing suit. Sand in pants. Sand all over everything. I always avoid playdates at the sandbox at the park. However, Eena and Baba loved playing in the sand. Eena rolled around in it, and she carefully poured sand into a bucket. Baba tasted sand (yuck), and she loved stomping on any sand castle I tried to build.

The sand-tasting incident confirmed why I don't like to take them to the beach. However, my husband reminded me that we'll be on vacation this summer...near the beach.
