parker’s “happy place” is the beach. we talked about the beach all winter long. when the snow piles grew, we kept talking about the beach. the buckets, the sand, the water, the warmth. when steve puts him to bed, often he tells him stories of the beach. so, it was fitting that, now that the weather has turned to take him… to the beach!
plus, anders has never been! i was so excited to show our littlest buddy the place we love so much.
i decided dinner on the beach had to happen. i started early–one of my easy meals–red peppers, onions, red potatoes. all diced and sautéed in a mix of olive oil and butter. then chicken sausage cut up gets added towards the end. mix in some creole seasoning. on top of that? sour cream and cheese. it’s delicious.
william got the chairs and toys ready and out we went! we were there by 3:00, eating dinner and playing in the sand. success! look at that happy face.
it was a good day to give anders his first taste at the beach. not too hot, not too cold. and he totally loved it. i remember when parker had his feet in the sand for the first time, he was not a fan. (it grew on him eventually. obviously.)
we stuck our feet in the water and, once they were sufficiently numb… it was great!
looking forward to more (many more) beach days this summer. there’s not a better summer day than one at the beach with enough snacks and drinks (and sunscreen and beach toys and towels and… we don’t exactly travel light to the beach–you never know what you’re going to need!) to keep you there from morning to evening. i love those days. the crowds disperse and you remain, removing layers, putting them back on, as the tide rolls on.
i forgive you for the roughest winter ever, massachusetts.
Anders is growing so quick and I love seeing your family pictures!
Happy Medley
These pictures are gorgeous and I love how you captured P and A's love for the beach! Sounds like a day of perfection to me….now I just need to move near a beach!!!
Sweetest family photos.
Lovely! I wish there was a beach closer to me, but I do spend the majority of my time in the summer at the cottage which I think is a good compromise 🙂 Also, holy cuteness happening in those photos!
Such beautiful pictures! What beach is this?
your family is so precious! and how sweet that anders finally saw the beach 🙂 that's one thing that killed me about going to college in mass, was the feast or famine weather. august/september were nice, but then COLD from october to may haha. glad you're getting some much-due warmth! 🙂
It WAS the roughest winter ever. Prompted my move back to San Diego. I'm looking forward to many beach days this summer as well. Have a great weekend!
