Today is such a lovely day in Paradise that I decided to take the day off but I wasn't sure what I should do. After thinking about it for a while I decided the Beach sounded perfect and that it would be nice if my Step-daughter and the grandchildren joined me. I gave them a call and it was a date! Ofcourse my mom also came along since she is visiting me from Germany. So we packed our cooler, lounge chairs and towels and headed on out to Cape Coral Beach. It was our mini vacation day! I figured it would be a relaxing one just laying around, but the grandchildren had something else in mind! LOL

We barely got there and ofcourse as children love to do they ran straight for the water! The beach was pretty packed but we found a nice spot close to the water so we could keep a good eye on the children. As soon as we had the lounge chairs and umbrella set up the kids grabed me into the water. Well that is were I was for the 2 hours we spent at the beach! So much for laying around! haha

 

The oldest one, age 4, wanted to climb on us all the time. She wanted to play ride the pony! Boy to I remember that from way back when I was a child! The middle on, age 3, was content on playing all by herself and the youngest one, age 2, wanted to build a castle. The youngest one is a little afraid of the water but I broke that. Before h e knew it he was hip deep! It was so funny, because as soon as he looked back at his mom he noticed that the shore line was further away, he grabed his boat and took off! We all had a great laugh! 

After the beach we all went to my house and took a quick dip in the pool to get the Beach sand off of us and we had a sandwich. The kids and the adults were exhausted! LOL

Everyone needs a day off! So take one and it enjoy it! We all had a great day and we hope everyone on Active Rain had one as well! Please feel free to write me about your day!

Caroline, we are so lucky.  Not too long ago I had be in Orlando for FAR.  A friend and I drove to Winter Park which is a great little town and I thought to myself, this would be a great place to live until I remembered how far the beach would be......I couldn't leave Naples anyway.  You and I are very lucky.

Caroline,

 Awesome picures..i think you are a brave woman for taking a day off. And you know what i mean, being in this business of ours. It is so easy to forget oneself and even sadly, our family.

Caroline - Love the post.  Funny thing is I did the same thing on Saturday the 8th but over here on the east coast.  I went to Jupiter beach adn= went surfing with my brother.  First time I have been surfing in a while and MAN did it feel GREAT to be back in the water.  So I love the post - from one Florida beach coast inhabitant to the other!!!!
