beach days - 3

this morning while we were waiting for the clouds to burn off, gracie gave piper, aka "baby pyder" 1000 kisses. literally.

we made many many flowers for our hair

and we taught our men folk how to make flowers for our hair

grandma and grandpa headed out to scout the "perfect" beach spot,

once we made the transfer to the beach (when did going to the beach get so hard??)  we set up a canopy and a tent and were ready for the afternoon.  we enjoyed the shade and a refreshing cup of formula,

we tested out the 52-degree water,

and ran from the waves....for what seemed like hours. levi couldn't even be bribed away from the "waves" with the promise of a treat.  that's serious.

 

we made sand castles,

our final masterpiece:

we boogie-boarded,

we flew kites,

and we sunbathed.

we dipped our delicious sleeping baby into the ocean,

and buried her in sand.

once we had our fill of the beach for the day, we came home and washed away the sand from every nook and cranny of our bodies.  heidi made us some super-yummy chicken alfredo, and stuffed us to the gills with eclairs.  the we had family home evening,

we could BARELY keep our eyes open to climb the stairs to bed!

aaaahhhh..... day 3
