1. Pack water, snack, towel, hat, toys, blanket, umbrella, sunscreen, swim diaper, bathing suit, extra clothes into the car. (I don't bother with my chair or reading material anymore since I know that I won't be doing any sitting.)
2. Change Jack and lather him up with sunscreen...oh wait, I already put it in the car.
3. Go out to the car to get the sunscreen.
4. Wrangle Jack up and hold him down to put sunscreen on him.
5. Strap Jack into his carseat and open all the windows and sunroof.
6. Drive to the beach while singing Brandi Carlile songs at the top of my lungs. Jack drums along in the back seat.
7. Get to the beach. Unpack blanket, umbrella, toys, bags and set everything up.
8. Put Jack's hat on and let him go to town digging in the sand.
9. After 5 minutes, he gets bored, so we walk down to the water and put our feet in. I ask if he wants to go swimming, he says, "Nooo," very matter-of-factly.
10. Jack has a snack. Goldfish. Then he puts a fistful of sand into his snack trap...that's the end of the snack.
11. Jack digs some more and we argue about keeping his hat on. He finally leaves it on his head.
12. We do a little more walking and Jack flirts with a little girl. He waves and says "Hiieee," with a big smile on his face. It was cute.
13. We are both hungry and I didn't pack lunch, so we pack up and head home.
It was a very nice 40 minutes at the beach! :)
That's my new favorite picture of you two! I wish I could have been there with you... sounds like you had a brief but fun time.
