Sand is icky!

This morning I took Chloe & Drew to the park near our house while Brian worked on the latest home improvement project. We actually planned ahead for once and brought the sand toys to play with. Chloe certainly loves playing in the sand...that is, for the first 5 seconds until it gets in her shoes! She had her crocs on today with no socks which made it even worse--she spent the whole time she was in the sand trying to get it out of her shoes, which was a no-win situation since it got in her shoes each time she took a step! It reminded me of the family vacation we took to Myrtle Beach when I was a kid and Julie kept washing her feet off in the ocean to get rid of the sand, only to get back to the towel covered in sand again! Maybe it's genetic....
