Sunday was Mia's  10th birthday.  You hear every  mom say it, but it is so true.   The last 10 years have gone by in a blink of an eye.  I know that the next 10 years will act in the same manner and it scares me.

      We had a nice family celebration on Sunday.  Yesterday we went with some friends  to Sask Landing to do some more celebrating.  After some chilly, rainy days,  yesterday was beautiful, hot and sunny.  It was a great beach day.

     The kids had great fun.   They were able to go swimming,  make sand castles (I have to say that their sand castle-making abilities have improved quite a bit over the past year.)  and climb up a sand cliff.  We also had a picnic lunch.  A lunch combined with healthy food and  not-so-healthy food.  What would a picnic be without potato chips?    

     It was a grand sight  seeing my kids  running up and down the beach with their friends  doing cannonballs (their own Sask Landing version) in the water  with mud clinging to their limbs  and spots of red skin  peeking through.    It didn't take us long, though,  before we became fried  from the sun  and declared Beach Day officially over.   That sun can really drain a girl.  Whew!

     I love that feeling  after you have been in the sun all day;   that crispy  but satisfying feeling that the sun's  energy  gives you.   I think we might have to do all of this next week.   I have already had requests, so who knows?
