i'm glad to say the weather here in seattle has finally started to feel like summer. with the temps in the low 80's, we've even had the chance to hit the beach a few times.
both boys were excited to use the skim board we got last year at a garage sale for $2. we never got a chance to use then, but the kids are loving it now!!
{look at those muscles! i'm supremely jealous...}
and this kid would never get off if he didn't have to. he absolutely loves it! i'm on the lookout for another board....i can see they are going to each need their own.
the tide was coming in and it was getting late so we told then once the water hit our umbrella we were going to leave. they must have worked for at least 30 minutes trying to build a wall to hold back the water. they did such a good job, finally though, i said we had to go....their wall was too good!
the hubs and i were talking about how nice it is to be able to sit and just watch the kids. we've made it past the stage where we had to hold their hands and make sure they weren't going to drown. talk about exhausting! i remember those days like they were just yesterday. being 8, 10 and 11 is so much easier!!
i'm looking forward to lots of days spent at the beach this year.

so funny, jerad and i had the same convo when we were at the cabin last weekend. "remember when one of us had to be out there at all times to make sure they didn't run to the river..." etc etc! it is a nice change even thoguh i do miss babyhood:) looks like you had fun!
Your kids are adorable! What you were saying about the beach being easier now....my husband and I were just talking about that the other day, only in reverse :) Our friends keep asking if we're taking a beach trip this year. The beach is about 4 hours away, and it's the thing to do around here. I used to LOVE the beach, but with a three year old and an almost five year old, I just know it would be more stressful than relaxing. We have taken them twice. It was fun and they loved it, but I was a worried Mama, stressed to the max :)
looks like a lot of fun!!
We are hoping to get a week at the beach soon!
How fun! And your hair looks awfully perfect for being at the beach...how do you keep it from frizzing out??
