First Day of Summer Means LOTS of Pictures

Today being the first day of summer AND a gloriously sunny day, we decided to go to the beach. Unfortunately, Ashlie is still in school but Jade was able to join us for a GREAT day of playing.



I gave the kids a snack before we left, figuring that way we wouldn't need to eat lunch till about 1. Not five minutes after we arrived they were breaking into the cooler themselves. Guess they were hungry...

Hmnnn...

A watermelon happy dance? They MUST have been hungry!



Here Davey shows off his surfing moves.

And later impresses Jadey with his wit.

Of course, a trip to the beach isn't complete unless you build a sandcastle.
Today we decided to build it in true westcoast style and incorporate rock, wood AND sand. And a killer moat. That's my favorite part...pouring the water in the moat!

Teamwork: Jadey and Davey help collect rocks and then take turns placing them on the castle.

taking a break? or thinking about what to do next?

Ah yes. Time for a snuggle with mumma. Though I barely snapped the picture before he was off again!
