As soon as the spring sun peeks through the clouds and it gets a little warmer, the sisters love taking their nephew and nieces to the beach.

They pack a lovely picnic basket and some beach-friendly toys. "Do not forget the sunscreen and sunglasses, dear aunt," the nephew chirps as he walks into the kitchen, where the sisters are packing the day trip essentials. "Too right," Anna agrees. "It is much easier to read and play in the sun, when you shield your eyes from bright light."
