Beachin' it

The beach slowly populates as the morning passes. Lounging in a beach chair with a novel, I can't help but observe the patterns of the people around me.

 

Beachin' by Alison Vernon

My attention mostly follows the families with young children. There is something delightful about watching children at the beach. Children are very enterprising with their red shovels and blue buckets. The children and babies need constant attention. Parents work double-time watching, feeding, smearing sunscreen, comforting tears and encouraging naps on sandy beach towels. They eventually leave the beach exhausted. In the car, everyone falls immediately to sleep as Dad drives the long drive home.

Your description of families makes me laugh.   I remember as a teenager watching families with small children in restaurants and places like that.  Getting them prepared for their meal,  wiping faces,  wiping noses,  made me tired just watching them,  i thought it was so much work.   Then I had my own,  and even though it really was a whole lot of work,  it didn't seem quite as bad as when I watched other people do it,  I guess cause I was too busy to observe lol.  Now I look back and can't believe I did all that stuff,  constantly going untill 11pm.  whewww!  I need a nap, lol
