A Wheel-y Fun Beach Day!!!

As the season draws to a close, it seems we all feel the urgency to pack those last few summer experiences in before we settle back into fall’s groove of shuttling, lunch-packing and homework-monitoring. 

So, it’s off to the beach to feel the surf and get your toes in the sand before the onslaught of pumpkin-spiced…well…everything.

But…if you’ve got a wheelchair user in the family, the idea of hitting the shoreline may seem daunting.  (And as anyone who’s ever done it will attest, pushing a wheelchair over sand rates on the fun scale just a notch above a root canal.)

Thankfully, the internet has made it easy to find beaches and parks that are accessible:

Many beaches will have sand chairs that you can rent (you just have to leave your ID, so make sure you come prepared.)  If they don’t have one where you’re going, you can rent one:

And look!  A fun Summer Sand Pudding!

And here’s a tune to help you wave good-bye to summer:

                                                                    

So as summer’s last fading light caresses your cheek and her soft breezes ruffle your hair, may you hold fast these memories to keep you warm the rest of the year!

Big Love,

P.S.

It’s too hot.
