A Beach to Ourselves

We've been wanting to go back to the beach for days and haven't been able to due to Benjamin's hand surgery and various other commitments, so we planned to go today.  Then it rained all morning and everyone was super bummed.  However, Christian and Benjamin insisted we go anyway, saying that it would be the perfect situation because the rain would keep everyone away and even though they couldn't swim, they would still play in the sand.  So, we packed up the car in the rain and went.  However, as we drove the weather went from cloudy, dreary, and cool to sunny and warm.  The kids were so excited.  We got there and it was warm and sunny and the beach was practically deserted!  There were some triathletes wearing wet suits and swimming back and forth across the lake, but otherwise, we had the whole beach to ourselves!  It was amazing.  Everyone's hoping for another rainy day to go again!
