chilly beach dinner

 The sun was shining at our house.

We packed up the beach grill, some hot dogs, snacks, and s'more fixings for a little family dinner at the beach.  We arrived at North Beach to overcast skies and a chilly breeze!  I think the temperature dropped 10 degrees on our short drive over...is this really spring?  We braved the cool weather and shivered through dinner!  The kids stayed warm running up and down the beach, collecting rocks and shells, and playing on the swingset and slide.  Royal stayed warm huddled over the grill cooking our hot dogs.  Mom froze!  I couldn't keep Layne on my lap long enough to get warm!  We lasted long enough to get everyone fed and sufficiently worn out...bath time and bed time were a breeze!
