At the Beach

Taking the girls to the beach is quite a challenge. It seems like we spent more time dragging their stuff from the van to the beach and then back to the van. We didn't really stay very long at the beach. One reason is that Winter has thyroid issues so we have to be very careful not to let her overheat. We have to keep her pretty much out of the sun. So she always had an umbrella over her or the top of her floaty. And we didn't stay more than an hour.

River decided to bring the umbrella I bought her at the zoo last year. I actually used it to keep the sun off of Winter.

The blue thing by her foot is part of the tent which never got set up. Jessica wasn't sure how it went up.



She may be a swimmer.

We probably have another month of beach weather at least. Hope to get their this weekend with the kids.

Your grands are adorable. We have had lots of 90s this month and way to many forest fires all around. The air has been awful more often then not.

You may want to think about cooling cloths. They make fabric into hats, baklava, shirts, bandana... you wet it and wring it out. Against your skin, it can make the air feel 20 degrees cooler. I bought a set off of QVC. A lot of sporting goods stores carry it, too.... :)
