Fun in the Sun

A few more pictures from our beach trip yesterday . . .

A rare shot of them sitting side-by side!

Watermelon!!

The kids had a quick lunch in their new chairs before we headed back to the car.

Beach Bonus

One of the many perks of a trip to the beach is a quiet and restful ride home!

My little sunbather with her arms behind her head. I love it!

Surfin' USA

Hamilton has a new boogy board, and he was nice enough to share it on the beach this morning. Osten got a free ride . . .

and Marci caught a momentary nap.

But the highlight was the dynamic duo of brotherly fun! Hamilton pulled Wells all over the beach, and little Wells surfed along until he finally slid off the back of the board.

Downward Dog

The warmup (sportin' her new shoes) . . .

Feeling loose (and yes, that is her toothbrush and toothpaste in her hand) . . .

Beach baby yoga, anyone??!!

Big Box o' Fun

Our new beach cart arrived yesterday, and it was packaged in a big box o' fun.

Osten had the best time hiding and playing in the box.

Help . . . I've fallen, and I can't get up!

While not nearly as much fun as the box it arrived in, the new beach cart provided some entertainment after the box started to tear apart.

Help Wanted: Dishwasher

We've got a new dishwasher in the family!

She unloads the top rack, too.

Silverware is her speciality, and she even puts it away!

When her brother pitches in, the inevitable tug-of-war ensues . . . It looks like this part-time gig is going to require some supervision for a while.

Every Dog Has Her Day

Remember Wrigley? Even though she doesn't make frequent appearances on the blog, she's still an active member of our family. She has her day on occasion, and she's even known to be tossed a bone from time to time!
