On Memorial Day, we had the chance to check out the lake in our area and go swimming. It was relaxing, fun, and we had a great time. Whenever I take the kids to the pool or lake, I like to be ready to walk out the door with as little fuss as possible. I also like to be prepared. This time, I washed all the beach towels, rolled them up, and put them in my beach bag. I also filled it with the arm floaties and sunblock, put it in the laundry room, and there it sat waiting for the day I could just grab it and go. For next time, I'll make sure the shovels and pails are ready to go with it for a fun time in the sand. It's also good to have crackers or some other kind of snack packed as well ready to go whenever you are. You know all that swimming makes for hearty appetites. For parched throats, I like to have a small cooler on hand ready to be filled with ice and water bottles. I like to use my big, strong man to carry it. The day we left for the lake all I had to do was tell the boys to go to the shorts bin and put on the swimming trunks they wanted to wear. We had a lovely drive to a very beautiful area and plopped down in the sand when we got there. The boys loved playing in the sand and splashing in the water. For me, it's the best way to relax as a family. This stress-free fun time as a family works for us.
