Discovering the joy of sand in your bathing suit

We went to PCB on a Friday. We cut a cold watermelon and brought a lunch. We lasted about 3 hours and then the heat got to us. But the kids loved it and got over their fear of the huge waves.

An oasis in the heat

Diva Shoes

Elyse calls shoes with a heel Diva Shoes. She loves to be a "diva." make-up, bows in her hair, dresses, and now mommy's high heel shoes. She has even got Hunter onto the idea.

Mommy and Elyse are twins

Elyse was so excited that mommy was wearing the same outfit as her. She calls it "being twinkies."

Picnic and Animals

We enjoy being outside when we can find some shade in this 100 degree heat. Lake Ella has great shade for a picnic and the kids enjoy looking at the animals.

Always a teacher...

I must find "crafts", books, lessons for the kids to do or we all go crazy in the house this summer. So this was a painting adventure. Of course we had to do it outside. It turned out to be a success. The kids want to do it again but mom is always hesitant.
