I realize we’re terrible parents for never (that’s right, never) taking our kids to the beach, even though we live in the kind of place people flock to for vacation. The heat is on these days, though, and we needed to do something different, so we finally headed to the lake downtown. We also brought the boogie board Brayden got as a birthday gift from one of his buddies, which turned out to be a huge hit. This is what summer’s supposed to be.
