Tuesday Is Minimum Day

So, hey you locals, NP old-timers and Cypress goers, remember at "our" elementary school, Tuesdays are half days. It's been like this for as long as I can remember. I also attended Cypress elementary as a kid. I don't know why exactly, but the kids all get out at 1:30. Well, because of the 95 degree weather we have been having, we needed to get away. I surprised Spencer and had the car packed with all our beach equipment. When he walked in the door from school, I had his swim suit sitting on the back of the couch all ready for him to just slip on. The girls were all suited up, we were in the car headed for the beach by 2:00! We got down there by 2:30 and spent a very fun afternoon playing in the sand and water. Of-course, no one was there, it felt like it was our own private beach. I was able to relax, catch up on my reading and the kids played and played. They can't wait till summer. They couldn't stop talking about all the plans they have for me. Here are just a few shots!
