Beach Days 5




Lesson Learned: There are some things you do as a parent thinking "man, my kids are really going to love this and even though it is going to be a little work for me to make it happen, it will be worth it for the kids" - this was one of those times. I thought it would be really fun to go out one night after dinner and walk down and watch Daniel and Jon shark fish. We had to park illegally, strap Ashlyn on to Daniel's back, put Audrey in the sling on me and convince Madi that it would be worth the 3/4 mile walk to potentially see a shark. It was a decent idea until Ashlyn completely soaked her dress in the water and started crying, Madison wet her pants and would not stop crying about how I did not have any extra panties on me and Audrey would not stop crying because it was so windy out there. So after all that work, we left about 20 minutes later for our long walk back to the car - with Daniel's dad carrying pee-stained Madi, Ashlyn now strapped to my back, Daniel's mom carrying Audrey and sweet, very pregnant Margot carrying all the minnow poles the girls insisted they would need/use out there! I think we all went to be about 1/2 an hour after we finally got home!!
