Jenn: Beach Day
Posted by
Cara 
Fast forward 35 years. My daughter asks if we can go to the beach. Sure I say. Get your suit on and lets go. No big deal. Nothing to pack. The beach chair is in the trunk. We can park right next to the sand. Swim for an hour - even get an ice cream - and be home again in 2 minutes.
A few years ago some friends and I started beach night. The idea was simple. One night I had been down at the beach with my kids. It was empty. I thought why is no one here enjoying this and beach night was born. Over the summer months we try to get to the beach once a week at night. Kids run and play, adults sit and talk. We all look forward to it. As schedules have changed, so does beach night. Who has lax practice or baseball or softball or hockey...we try to accommodate everyone and make beach night fun for all. As my kids get bigger, they don't all want to come anymore. Now it's pretty much just me and Lu. That's okay - someday it will be me and Cara with all our gray-haired friends hanging at the beach. For now it's a nice memory for our kids who look forward to it each summer with "when's beach night?" starting in May. Finally I can say, it's beach night!
