back to the beach

once again, we packed our bags and headed to the beach
but this time
we remembered the one crucial element to double our fun
DADDY!


we got to the beach - and boy was instantly messy


we dug a big hole for girl - and she stayed in all day
the initial jump into the cold water is always a little shocking

she adjusted


and the ride home is always interesting


what do you do with a kid who is sleeping
and completely coated in sand?
spread out a towel - coat in powder - and put to bed
and at bedtime.. expect a big mess waiting for you

the kids brought Daddy to see their watertower



and we brought chalk
they had a gigumbus empty parking lot to draw all over...


and they hovered by the grass

next we went to see Lucy - and it was her birthday party!!
128 years young baby!



boy enjoyed the view of the watertowers


we took our eyes off boy for a second - and he bolted

only to make up for the escape with a nice pose

all lucy-ed out


next boy & daddy hit up the park




needless to say - boy needed a little cool-off time after he got home

girl learned how to pout this week

and had clams for the first time!
..a little stretchy...

and when we got home - all the chickens had escaped to welcome us home!
