A Secret About People Who Live in Washington

Summer Day 11: we went to the beach
Summer Day 12: we went to the river
Summer Day 13: we went back to the beach
Tommorow's plan: river
Coming soon: play date at the dermatologist*

Today we went back to the beach where we got BURNT on Monday. This time we had 50 spf sunsblock. Time to talk about skin cancer.
We discussed how dermatologists check all of your cracks and hiding places for skin cancer.

"Oh, we don't want to do that."

"Put sunblock on ONLY to the already burnt parts. But not my face. Not my face."
They played despite their nacreous pink skin.

Okay, time for the secret...

...something I noticed about beach kids in Washington...
...something is missing...

...one absolutely necessary beach item...

...if you're thinking "bathing suit" you are correct.
Several children were swimming in their clothes or underpants.
It was gross.
COME ON buy a swimming suit.

*Not kidding about the group summer outing to the dermatologist. It really is one of our planned summer activities. What kid wouldn't want to use up one of their summer vacation days getting their freckles & moles checked?
