De Nekker to Ourselves

We have two cars for most of the week so I've been trying to make the most of it by going place outside of my normal walking/busing radius.  I took the kids to the beach and when we got there it was empty.  The whole time we only came across a handful of the kids.  The kids were able to play on all the toys including do the boat where you pull yourself across the water using a rope.  We walked around a little and found a bridge that overlooks Kherington sized fish (no joke).  After the morning at the beach part we played on three separate playgrounds.  The kids had a blast and I got to relax and read lots of my books.

They both had a short nap on the drive home, then played nicely with each other the rest of the day.  It ended up being best complete day I've had with the kids in a long time. No meltdowns, talking back, fighting, etc. Just pure happiness the entire day. They even went to bed quickly.
