Beach Bums' Plans


While at our beach home, we just live. Like normal, but with a beach nearby.  So things like cleaning and laundry and meals and kid care go on like normal ... but with a beach nearby.  We don't do the shop till you drop or eat out everyday or hit up all the touristy places. We just live. with a beach nearby.  The children, though, wanted a plan. OK we wanted a plan so the children would stop asking 29 times a day ... when are we going to the museum? when are getting slushies? when are we.... ?

So Monday morning, after breakfast, we made a plan!


 

"Beach" is a daily event.  
We then had a few other things we wanted to do: the farm market, the local playground, the museum...



                                   For us, knowing the time of low tide is very important. 
  It is the very best time to take the children to the beach, so the rest of the day revolves around low tide!


  
We used a bit of rolled up tape to put our cards on the chart, so we could re adjust them for rainy weather. (that would be plan B!)



We hung it on the fridge for all to see.. and now when the children say, "When?" 
we just point to the fridge, cause "We have a plan!"
