Beach Day

We made our annual beach trip to the mall yesterday. After several failed attempts to make a castle, we gave up and went home!

To Keep You Occupied

dHere are a couple miscellaneous pictures! It's sandbox season again!

Beach Party

Bethany and Jonas went to the beach party at the mall on Saturday. They immediately started playing and wandering around checking everything out - they didn't even need us! Except to keep the sand from sticking to their hands, that is. My daughter is such a neat freak.

Ash Cave

After a yummy picnic dinner, we hiked Ash Cave. Gorgeous! There's tons of sand at the cave, and Bethany sat down and played in it for a while.

Mid-Week Update

Bethany, Aunt Sarah and I visited the nursery this week and picked out lots of plants. Bethany and I got a triumphans spirea, whatever that is. I guess we'll find out! She helped me repot it and got dirty, which is always fun. (Check out how she's holding A. Sarah's hand in this picture!! There's a first time for everything.) Bethany and Jonas's adventures included another bath time and fun in the sandbox. And of course walks outside and playing in the backyard.

Sandy!

Bethany has her cousin over for the day, and is catching lots of rays! We went to the park this morning to walk the trails and then watch the ducks on the pond, and now we're just coming in from a nice early afternoon on the patio. I am loving the smell of sunscreen right now! Summer's here!

The Day After

Bethany's been a little out of sorts today recovering from yesterday. But she had a lot of things to keep her busy - new toys! She should never be bored again with all this new stuff!

The Loot

Bethany got a lot of amazing new toys. We need a bigger place! Here's some of the present highlights!
