It was ridiculous.
Since it was a weekday, the only other people there were families. The boys played and played for HOURS. They played together without me so well for so long that I finished the book I brought with me and just sat watching them play together.
Sometimes as a working parent, I feel like so much of my time is spent rushing rushing rushing. It was amazing to have FOUR HOURS to just enjoy my boys. I don't think I can describe how nice it was to watch them be brothers for a few hours.
This ongoing balance thing as a working parent is hard. I do want to enjoy my kids but I also have a lot of responsibilities. The longer I do this parenting thing, the more I realize it's about stopping to enjoy the moment when you can and carving out these moments along the way.

LOVE their Star Wars shirts :)
I really think you are an amazing parent!
We can't see what you do behind the scenes but I'm pretty sure it is mostly as awesome as what you blog.
Keep it up!
And I bet, on top of all that awesome, the boys slept great too. The beach is magic.
Ohmigosh. WHERE can I get that Artoo shirt?
