Date: July 8, 2015

Destination: the beach

Planned activities: a hike and time at the beach

Quote of the day: Three year olds are an abundance of funny moments.  My favourites of the day are:

While playing at the edge of the water with a stick she says, “I just heard a frog fart.” (FYI We have yet to see a frog)

“I am not capable of that”, she says when I ask her to clean up her toys.  The fact that she can tell me that says that she is more than capable of putting her toys into her bin.

While she was getting ready for bed she says, “Daddy, smell my stinky bum!”.  Now that is love!

Chad researched and had planned all sorts of cool hikes and excursions for our stay at Glacier.  Unfortunately, we have discovered that the upset stomach that Alexis had a week ago and the nausea that I had on the weekend were probably the same illness and today Chad had it.  We, therefore, had a pretty chill day.  It was what Chad required and what the girls really needed.  Everyone slept in and the girls played in the campsite in the morning.  Mid-afternoon we hit the beach. 

The highlight of my day was watching my seven year old play in the water, the sand and with the clay that you can dig up around a large rock near the shore.  She made a friend and the two of them made cookies out of clay.  It brought back many childhood memories of playing at the beach while camping.
