Playgroup

If you lived where we live this may be what you would do for playgroup

Drive 10 minutes through a typical suburban city

continue the drive for 8 more minutes through a long winding foresty road

Listen to the boys sing in the back of the car

Try not to think about how sad it is that Swifty has yet to be able to come to our beach

Try not to think about the fact that KB is going to be very upset to know she went to school and we went to the BEACH

Park

Get out of the Car

put on Sunscreen, swim diaper on baby Hieselt (who really is not a baby anymore), make sure we have a camera

walk down the sidewalk

run in the sand get to the water and. . .

STOP!

Come back to the bag and get your floaties
If your a toddler with kind of scrawny arms and a big brother that thinks once you have floaties on you know how to swim so Moms excuse that she needs to stay close to you wont work you for go the floaties and run straight in the water only once you see a ball that needs rescuing of course

Once your in you love the water and even dare to jump, run, and sit in it

of course you will get board and will find a watering can to fill with water

which wold mean that you would need to dump it out and let your mom take her token picture, with 1970 quality lighting, of you dumping it ( wherever there is water and a bucket this is the only shot you can get of Buster)

Of course you will be very sad when it is time to put the watering can and the ball in the bag and go home
pack up, tag team with other moms so you can get your stuff to the car and let the kids play in the water a little longer.
chase the little ones away from the water more than 3 times in order to get them going the right way
Change into real diapers and clothes in the car and fall asleep on the way home
