As we begin a new week Charlie and I are blessed as we will be visiting a Water Park this weekend. I can’t wait to go because both Charlie and I love to Swim.
Walking in a Wave Pool is a great way for me to get my Exercise in without being out in the Heat. Although I have caught a cold and if I am not better by Friday I may not be able to Swim.
This weekend will be lots of resting and walking when or if I can because I started my new Diet. Although if I don’t plan on pushing it and if I don’t feel better I will not get out and walk.
To keep Charlie entertained this week I made him this Beach coloring sheet and I put together a couple writing pages using prompts I came up with. Then I found a couple books about the Beach I want David to go and pick up this afternoon.
Writing Prompts:
- What I found when I visited the Beach
- What would I pack to take the Beach
- Traveling to the Beach here is what I saw and did
- Who I brought with me to the Beach

Duck wants to go on an adventure. But Goose isn’t so sure.

Turns out, Goose loves the ocean. But guess who doesn’t?
Nancy and Timmy hop out of their beds one summer morning and help pack their swimsuits and lunch. And then it’s off to the seashore! In a charming rhyme, this Little Golden Book from 1951 (then titled A Day at the Beach) describes what preschoolers will find there: “You can catch little crabs—if you’re quick! You can draw great big pictures right on the beach with a piece of a shell or a stick.” Oh, what fun!
From Kathryn and Byron Jackson, authors of the popular Little Golden Book The Saggy Baggy Elephant,and Corinne Malvern, illustrator of the Little Golden Books Doctor Dan the Bandage Man and Nurse Nancy.
Harry is a black dog with white spots who loves everything about the beach—except the heat. He just wants a shady spot to escape from the sun, but there’s no room for him under the family’s umbrella or in the children’s sand castle. A big wave comes along and cools Harry off, but it also leaves him covered in seaweed, making everyone think he’s a sea monster. (Seriously, did everyone learn nothing after Harry became unrecognizable covered in dirt in Harry the Dirty Dog?)
