Keeping Your Spirits Up in the Sand
You haven’t had a beach holiday until you have experienced the grind of walking along the beach with sand stuck up your bikini bottoms or trunks.
In this unfortunate situation the only thing to do is to walk (or crunch) into the sea and waves, and hope that the lovely waters, whether gentle or rushing, will wash your pants free from that gritty mess.
Little kids don’t seem to mind. Have you noticed the way that toddlers and slightly older kids will happily roll around in the sand, dig pits to bury each other in, throw sand at each other, and basically become completely covered with the stuff, but they don’t seem to mind. They don’t walk around stiff legged, trying not to pretend that a Jurassic beach has begun to evolve between their legs. They don’t want to twitch at their bikini bottoms or shorts every minute or so.
Kids get the best of a beach in every way. We all indulge them in ice creams, fizzy drinks, unhealthy beef burgers, and most importantly, lots and lots of fun and games, both in the waves and on the sand.
But, there is one important way that we adults on the beach can also have our perks. Our picnic baskets can contain lots of kid-free goodies such as miniature spirits bottles tucked away amongst the sarnies and yoghurts.
So while we are handing around the healthy fruit and veg and sandwiches, keep an eye on the adult bonuses that will make us forget the sandy, grinding walk. Just don’t let the sand-free kiddies find them first!
