We are having a cold snap here in the Pacific Northwest. That means our highs are in the 30's and 40's rather than 40's and 50's. In some of the low spots in our yard the frost is staying throughout the day. (I know you who live in
actually cold place scoff at this!) Here in the PNW cold weather often is accompanied with clear weather- and lately that is the case.
Here on Vashon the mountains are out! The water looks blue, and it is all so lovely! Today, we wanted to go down to the beach! We also wanted to enjoy a bit of the sun! Except cold weather and the beach can sometimes just chill a person to the bone.
So here's what we did, and here is my suggestion for fun winter beach visit with kids. We packed up a thermos of cocoa, a jar of mini-marshmallows, 2 apples, and a bag of crackers and 4 mugs in a nice little basket and did some slurping cocoa, beach combing, rock throwing, and duck watching.
I'll admit we weren't there for too long and it wasn't the time of our life, but the sunset was BEAUTIFUL, the cocoa was yummy, and we had some beach time!
