I think part of it is also that kids really know how to live in the moment. If they’re horsing around in cold waves, they’re not thinking about if their towel is getting sandy on the beach, if they have enough warm clothes ready for afterwards, if there are enough sandwiches ready for lunch and how cranky everyone is going to be on the way home. They’re just playing and screeching and loving it and able to ignore a lot of other external things including being cold.
