Day at the beach – Activities and Summer picnic ideas

This weekend it was very sunny. We put sunscreen on our bodies to prevent a sunburn. We took a lot of stuff to play with at the lake. We went stand up paddling and we swam in the cozy water. We also kicked the soccer ball around, and we played some interesting games. In the sand we built sand castles. We also rested a little so we could have a break from the sun. Look through our post to see reusable package wrapping and things we had fun doing. Hope you have fun!

What we packed for picnic:

1. Water with ice and the juice of a lemon in our reusable water bottles.

2. Sliced fruits. We cut papayas and melons:

3. We made sandwiches for lunch (shown in the picture) also packed with reusable container

4. Baby potatoes with Rosemary: To my surprise they were cooling and tasty for the picnic.

5. Dates and nuts and a cookie for snack.

We didn’t produce any extra trash on the lake with our picnic. And especially the fruits feel very refreshing on a warm summer day!

When we were about to get back home our mom said “Clean up your backpacks”. Then we usually wash ourselves, have dinner, brush teeth and put P. J's on. We can listen to Harry Potter audiobook or read on our kindle until 8:35pm.

I usually think about having a water slide in our house and I pray before falling asleep.
