On Saturday, we packed up the CRV and headed out to Gimli for the day! Taking the baby to the beach is like preparing for everything. We packed sweatshirts, and shorts, and two pairs of shoes, a chair, a blanket, a towel, some squirt toys, a floatie, two sun hats, a pair of sunnies, a couple of extra diapers, a whole load of L'il Swimmers, and some onesies. Once we were ready we hopped in the car and off we went. It was such a nice drive - we planned it to coincide with P's nap time, which was perfect, she woke up just as we parked. I am sure we looked ridiculous with all our gear trucking down to our spot on the beach, but we were prepared for anything! At first P did not really enjoy the water, I think it was because it was awfully chilly, but she got used to it and had a lot of fun. We had fun with her, that is for sure! We plan to take the trip again, later in the summer. I hope everyone is enjoying this heat, and getting out of the house and doing lots of fun things! Maybe our paths will cross at a petting zoo, a splash park, farmer's market, or...the mall.
