Take the Boy to the Beach...


... and he eats the sand! That's my boy... the kid who eats dirt (sand). I guess I shouldn't have been surprised since he pretty much puts everything in his mouth these days. He couldn't get enough of it... you'd have thought it was ice cream or something. Totally disgusting.

Well, after buying the land this summer, we decided that we really couldn't take a big family vacation... so we decided to "staycate" and do some fun things locally. We loaded up (and you can imagine how long that takes with two babies) and went to the beach yesterday. Unfortunately, by the time we got there a crazy storm came in and we found ourselves in a torrential downpour. Not a fun day at the beach. But because I was determined to have some family fun this weekend (after Chris being out of town all last week), we tried again today.

Is it really a beach if it's not at the ocean?? Well it is if you're at Granbury Lake. Granbury has created it's own little beach on the edge of the lake... complete with sand, tiki huts, a splash park, etc. They even went so far as to make sure the sand extended all the way into the swimming area. Thank you for that... I could actually get in the water without being totally grossed out by slimy plants growing under my feet.

Anyway, the kids didn't know the difference between this beach and one we would have paid tons of money to go to in Florida. Apart from the sand-eating incident, it was a successful day. Family fun was had by all!
