water fun

We went to the beach for a couple of day for the Memorial day weekend. It wasn't the first time for Kevin. We went last year too, but he had a cold then so we couldn't really tell if he liked it.



This time, the response was clear. Water is fun. Sand between your toes is not. Initially the plan was to spend 2 full days at the beach and also pay a visit to the Fort Fisher aquarium. We ended up spending only half a day at the beach, half a day visiting Wilmington and the next day a couple of hours at the aquarium. Then we headed back home.



Ironically, when we got home, Kevin had a blast in the little inflatable swimming pool I set up in the back yard...he played for several hours in the water, with little buckets, watering can, spraybottle and sieve. Goes to show 'een kinderhand is gauw gevuld'....oh well, I didn't mind too much not spending longer at the beach, I'm not the 'baking yourself to gett a tan' type of person anyway....I was quite content being back home and sipping a cold glass a wine on the back patio...just a shame we had to drive 2 hours to and from the beach to find out.
