The weekend before we went to Chicago, we finally got summer here. The entire summer, it has not been hot here. 9 days in the 90's, no days in the 100's - very odd. There were Friday's that we would go to the beach and retreat to the playground where it was warmer. Summer got here on September 24th - with 4 days in a row with 100+ temps. We finally got a Saturday warm enough for us to do a family beach day!
Besides the obvious of all being together & the great warm weather - the best thing about this beach day was that I got to sit and read while the men took care of the girls!
(ok - dad took care of the girls, Matt napped!)
Monday it was still so hot out that I pulled the girls from school (it's just pre-school after all!) and we went back to the beach!
Ryan and his mommy joined us too - which made for an even better day!
Our standing meeting place is right next to the lifeguard tower - but on Monday there was no lifeguard, so the kids got to play at the tower - great fun in their "fort"!
It was awesome to have one last "hurrah" of summer....even in late September!
