The beach — too much sun and icky things in the sand.  That’s what came to my mind when I thought of kids and the beach!  I tried to express some of that over-protective Mommy in me in this image.

Footwear, sunscreen, and sunhat — it’s all sensible enough to me, but the kids could care less.  As a joke, I wrote 100 SPF on the sunscreen, not realizing that they actually make it!

The beach is certainly inspiring.  So many beautiful images this week, it’s hard to pick a favorite.  Check out the gallery here.
