Growing up in the Midwest and land-locked (as Catherine calls it), I only hoped to get to go to the beach. Today, the whole 1st grade went on a field trip to Wrightsville Beach. Of course, as a family, we go to the beach all of the time... but the realization that this was an "organized" school event... made it sink in how cool it is to live by the beach!! 130 kids, plus teachers, parents and siblings running around the beach was a sight to see. They had a sand castle building contest... Chase's class won (according to Chase's class ;) ). They did have the most creative and largest sandcastle. With moats and rivers, it stretched about 10-15 feet. We also had lots of buildings... the kids could have built more and were so bummed when it was time to go. We checked Chase out at the beach and stayed a little while longer... just so the kids-- really I mean boys-- could get wetter and sandier! We all had so much fun.
When we got back home, the kids wanted to go swimming. Over the past few days, we had gotten a significant amount of rain... so the pool was a nice GREEN. Aaron got out the vacuum and reminisced about how much he hated cleaning the pool when he was growing up. Today, he bought a new robot (vacuum), so he never has to hand vac the pool again :)
