This trip to the beach was much more successful. I narrowed it down to one chair (carried back pack style), the towels fit in the back pack chair, one umbrella, Pudd'ns lunch box and one mesh bag to hold his ball and the dirty towels for when we were done. We spent a nice 2 hrs at the beach. I'm sure I could of squeaked out a few more hours had I been able to bring the boogy board. Then I could of gone out in the water with him. I may forgo the umbrella and bring the board next time. Goat Puppy had a blast as always. Pudd'n is a little extra whiney, he only got up at 4 am today. We tried playing out side for a while, but I only made it for 1/2. hr. Pudd'n likes to play "chase" and that's about it when it comes to games. Needless to say, I got tired of that game REAL quick. Plus my legs got all scratched up from trying to take short cuts in the cul de sac. There is an island of bushes there and he loves to go in circles, so it was perfect for him. Sucks to be me.
