A Beautiful Day at the Beach

On the 15th some of the schools in our area had a day off and we went to the beach again. This time the weather cooperated a lot more. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL! There wasn't a cloud in the sky and there wasn't even enough wind to fly the kids dollar store kites.
Jessi and Tanner were in their swim suits all day and Hunter we kept in the shade, since we can't use sun screen until 6 months. They had fun digging holes, playing Frisbee and ball with the older kids and finally made it into the water about 5 minutes before we left. Hunter even took a nap in the tent that I brought. It was a wonderful day and made me glad that we live so close.

1. Big Tanner, Jessi, Nate and Tanner digging a hole. Tanner and Nate seem to be talking mischief.
2. Tanner takes the shovel from Big Tanner.
3. Tanner starts to dig while Big Tanner looks on.
4. Big Tanner decides to get a little shovel.
5. Everyone digging again.
Big Tanner is such a good sport when the little ones are around. He is one of the reasons the beach is so easy for me.


1. Tanner playing in the hole and Nate deciding to join him.
2. Playing together. They were probably playing and laughing like this for at least 30 minutes.
3. Tanner "hopping" out.
4. Tanner finding something else to do.
5. Tanner throwing rocks and running from the waves.
Thankfully neither Jessi or Tanner like to be in the water. I hope that trend continues.


Hunter enjoyed just watching everything going on. I set him in this chair for a few minutes and couldn't resist a picture.


Here is Jessi in the water. I would have gotten more, but the camera was already in the car so this is from the cell phone.
