So i decided to make my backyard a little tanning area. I laid out a large blanket {which Chase took up most of}, brought out my big glass of water and some tune-age. Oh yeah, I was even in my bathing suit. I know right- in my backyard?! Yep- in my backyard.
Anyway, as I was soakin' up the rays, I realized how much I actually hated my itchy, grassy 'beach'. Still love the sun. Hate 'beaching' in the grass. I then spent the remainder of my time outside
reminiscing about my real beach days. When I lived in Hawaii.
{just a side note: i didn't just live there and go to the beach every day. I was working with a mission organization called youth with a mission. I just beached when I had free time}
{another side note: the above side note was really long. Sorry}
All this to say, today I really missed living near a beach. A real life beach should be in everyone's life. Right? Yeah. That's right. Let's figure out how to make that happen...
you're so right...backyard beaching just isn't the same. we're three hours from the beach now and i feel so lucky! we need to be closer to it though...we're working on that.
ReplyDeletea word on backyard beaching though, i've done hours and hours and hours of that in my life. i love the sun!!! when i was pregnant with jack, i would lay noah down for a nap and head to the backyard with my lawnchair and my bikini...lettin' my belly out :) i'd have a giant water bottle, 15 freezes, and a book and relax for two hours EVERY DAY until noah would wake up...then usually i'd drag him out there to play in his wading pool til i soaked up a few more rays....ahhhh, sweet memories :)
