First Beach Day of the Summer

Okay, you tell me how a day gets better than this...

- Morning at the beach. Jacob and Molly rode their bikes (with training wheels) without a word of complaint. I had to walk quickly to keep up, while pulling Zoë and our beach gear in the wagon. Kids played with friends and each other for several hours with almost no adult involvement. In and out of the lake. Digging holes. Other projects, intensely worked on, that no adult could comprehend.
- Hot afternoon at the splash pad. Chilling out.
- Evening watching the kids play soccer. Jacob scored his first goal. The score was probably about 10-10, so I wouldn't say our guys are dominating the sport, but so far they're having lots of fun. Zoë definitely wants in on the action.

- Kate's working tonight so I'm home alone. So, that's how the day could have been better.

Tomorrow we're flipping a coin to see who's heading to the local zoo with the nursery school and who's going to the ear doctor with Molly. Not sure which is the short straw there.
