Sunny Days

This has been a funny early Summer season so far.  We have had some really hot hot days and some cool and chilly and rainy days.  But we like going out during the sunny times.

Will had Memorial Day and we decided to go down to the beach in the morning.  The kids had a blast with the new beach toys and the frisbees we brought.

The girls decided to test out the water.  According to Whitney that was where all the prettiest rocks were.  I don't think anyone went deeper than their knees.

We had quite a few big holes dug by the end of our adventure.

Adam laughed and laughed as I covered his feet in sand.  I thought he might get upset but he loved it.  I guess we will have to head down to the beach more often.

We brought a picnic to enjoy afterwards (ignore Megan's grumpy face she was having a good time).  We let each kid choose three "treasures" to bring home.  So now we have more rocks, leaves, and clam shells.

On another day we decided it was hot enough to go to the splash park.  It is only a couple of minutes from our house.

Adam wasn't too sure about this cold water.  He was willing to get his hands wet but that was about it.  He actually spent most of the afternoon playing on the grass and eating dirt.

Our first sno-cones of the Summer.  I had a delicious peach mango.  Adam went around to everyone and begged for bites.  Thankfully, everyone seemed to think their sno-cone was the best, so that worked out nicely.

Not outside, but sunny days means colder food.  I made seven-layer dip for dinner.  Adam got so messy.  He didn't quite understand dipping the chip and tended to just use his fingers to get as much dip into his mouth as possible.  It was cute, until clean up time.

Anyway, we are liking the days that are nice and warm.  Just a few more school days left and it will be officially Summer!!
