I loved the time spent at beach with full of sand around and this is one thing I miss in at my home in Mumbai. Sometime my dad use to leave me alone to play and be with myself and that’s the time I have taken full advantage of being with the nature.. And it feels so ama-azing. Though after that it was his duty to give me a bath and get all the sand out of my cloths and hair.

While I was busy playing with sand and enjoying the ocean there were few uncles building some awesome sandcastles with sand but because of the low light pictures could not be taken. One day I also plan to build something like that and showoff to others.
Sand is one of the purest forms of nature and children can explore their imagination. And the word “NO” i learned recently came very handy.
Dad : Are you done ?
Me : NO
Dad: you are getting dirty..
Me : NO
Dad : Its enough for the day..
Me : NO
Dad: you might be hungry…
Me : NO
Dad : Give me
whatever you just put in your mouth.
Me : NO
Dad: Ok
fine, eat it and get sick.
Me : NO
Dad: Stop
saying no.
Me : NO
Dad: lets go back to resort and get some rest ….
Me : NO
…..

But finally people with strength overpower people with kind heart who only want to play in sand and we head back to our resort and eagerly wait for the next day when I can be back.

I can play for hrs in sand but like all good things this also come to an end after our 4 days of stay at Puri were over and it was time we move to Bhubaneswar for the next leg of vacation.
What do you need to take care off when your kids plan to enjoy their Vacation on Sand?
- Baby wipes are something which will come as handy, You can use them to wipe off your hands
- Put sunscreen on before you head out.
- Keep a towel in the car or with you just for wiping off sands.
- Pack empty plastic bags for carrying home wet, sandy suits and shoes.
- A big beach umbrella to give you an oasis of shade.
