Sand and Ice!

The kids are really loving the beach this year, and it is a great fun and free thing to do. We have been trying to make it to the beach once a week, but it is a lot to pack with kids. You have to bring towels, toys, umbrella, chairs, snacks and anything else Jordan and I can manage to carry down to the waters edge! This year we are going a lot at night as well. We just let them play in the sand and they have a blast. You don't need as much stuff just to play in the sand. Down in Duck this year we were introduced to Rita's Italian Ice, and it just so happens that we pass one on the way back home from the beach. We have been taking the kids there a couple times a month for a icy treat. Its healthier and cheaper than Cold Stone!!! Making good memories for them!!!
