That sure looks like fun!
Thanks! We were so happy to get to the beach for the day and run around like maniacs!
Looks like such fun! They look so happy. We are looking forward to spring, but it is still cold and rainy here in the Chicago area so it may still be a ways off. Enjoy that lovely sunshine!
I spent my entire life living in Chicago! I totally get it — We used to run to the beach anytime spring showed itself. Our rain will certainly return as well so I guess we’ll only be able to wear flips for a day or two! I hope your rain holds off this weekend. Thanks for hopping over!
I just adore these pics. Free and frolicking with the sand between their toes. Bliss. 🙂
Thank you! We’re such fans of the beach -I cannot get enough anytime the weather turns even a little but warmer!
