Been meaning to post this photo of our recent beach trip but I keep on forgetting to do so 😄
My heart is always at its happiest when I see and join my kids playing on the sand and swimming in the beach.
Child at heart
I feel like I i am a kid all over again as I join them in trying to find shells, nice stones, build sand castles, try to discover marine life in the shore and catch the waves.
During this trip — while I was prepping our lunch and they were playing on the sand — all the things that usually make my lunch prep at home all the more hectic like breaking up a sibling fight, requests for water, breastfeeding break, read a book, potty time was temporarily unheard of. Halos hindi nila kami pansinin. They will only call me and Capt B when they want to show us something like a shell or the castle they are building. Magical indeed! The mister and I suddenly had time for uninterrupted conversations which hardly happens until after bedtime. Ang galing!
Their enjoyment, plus our happy family bonding time and the bonus relaxation for us parents made me and Capt Barbel promise ourselves that we will be bringing them to the beach as often as we can.
Reminscing own childhood
After all in both our childhood, the Mister and I looked forward to family beach trips. It will always be the happiest and most memorable. And though beaches may be a long drive i was happy to realize now that both our parents took the time to let us enjoy the sea and the sand! So now that nice beaches are often a plane ride away, we make sure to save up some so the kids can experience the same level of happiness we both had.
Thank you for indulging me in this read. I realised I have not been posting much lately about our trips but will make a conscious effort next time. Till next post!
