Family Day

Sometimes life is hard.  We've had a lot of that lately so we decided our family needed a day.  We called the schools and let them know Kayda and Dillon wouldn't be in and then we took off to the beach.  The drive was a little longer than we remembered.  We went to Twin Harbors State Park, yeah... definitely not a good camp ground by the way.  Anyway.  We spent a few hours there.  It was Carson's first time to see the ocean!  He actually wasn't very interested in the water which is weird for him.  But he LOVED the giant, never ending sand box!  When we first got there the weather was perfect!  But then the wind went cold and Carson did not like that. 

And...then the camera dies.  If this had been a planned trip I would like to think I would have checked that.  It worked out though, made it easier for me to just play.  We flew kites, built a sand castle, made an obstacle course and when Carson couldn't handle the beach anymore we went to the parking/picnic area and climbed a few trees before we headed home. 

It was a great spur of the moment trip.  I think the kids really enjoyed it despite the 5 hours of driving.
