PETA and dog lovers everywhere will be happy to know that Boudreaux has survived, so far.

We did, in fact, trudge to the beach yesterday, where everyone, but the cherubs, managed to get sunburned, (despite the fact we ALL used 45 sun block. God just likes little kids better than the rest of us!) We forgot to pack the camera, with all the other crap we brought to the beach, so I can not show you the evidence that the kids LOVED the beach, but we did manage the snap this one of Emie in the clean up process:

Upon announcing at 5 pm, that is was time to leave, Emie, laid down in the water and stated that she was not going home. Fortunately for Lori and me, the boys were reasonable and left without a fight, as long as we promised to return on Thursday. So the beach is now on the itinerary for Thursday, and educational crap, like the children’s museum, has been scratched. There goes my mother of the year award, AGAIN.
