Beach Day!

We're smack dab in the middle of another long, dark, snowy and cold winter around here. It's been a heck of a winter, too, and of course it's the one winter we decided to forgo the tropical thaw-out and just stay home.

To break things up a bit, we did Beach Day this afternoon. We cranked the thermostat to 80, changed into shorts and tshirts, played some games and made a picnic/BBQ lunch. It wasn't Hawaii, but it was pretty fun.

What do you like to do to keep yourself and kids busy during the winter?
