Cheap Entertainment

Friday night, I was with the kids.  Hubby had plans.  It was such a beautiful night, I really felt we had to go out and do something.  But I didn't want to go out to an inside activity.  Having such long nights is something we have been waiting for a long time for...didn't want to waste it. 


So we opted to go to the beach.  There's a beach nearby with an open park that's perfect for kit flying.   We had an early dinner, hopped into the car and drove to the beach.  The ride itself was awesome as it was that beautiful of a night.  We were there in 7 minutes and easily found parking.  Woo hoo!   What's even better is that it's a side of the beach that not a lot of people go to.  


When we got there, the wind was perfect.  Consistent, but not too hard, and warm.  


The kidlets started flying their kites right away and I could just see that they were having a fabulous time.  They were trying all different ways of flying their kites.  At one point, both kids were just lying in the grass while flying their kite.  They were so content lying there and watching this kite go back and forth, back and forth.   


It's hard not to be content on a night like this.  By the beach, beautiful water, sun, sounds of nature, incredible clear blue sky and lots of giggles with my 2 favourite girls.
