We decided to take five kids under the age of 3 to the beach today. This involved a 3/4 mile walk to the beach, broiling sun, and suffocating heat (high of 92 today!). They handled it pretty well, but all five of the adults who attended were pretty spent (and sunburnt) by the time we got back. Kane was certainly the one who enjoyed the trip most of all. He LOVED swimming in the ocean (open Atlantic Ocean in MAY! UNBELIEVABLE and scary!). It was great fun to see them and I hope that happens a whole lot more this summer - the beach part, by which I mean easily accessible by car with lots of shade and coolers full of Annma-prepared goodies.
