Cool Dudes & Dudette

Sometimes we get funny looks from people while we drive by.  I have no clue why...

Daddy's Little Girl

So Ben came home from a haircut the other day and handed Addie a new bottle of pink nail polish.  I was thinking of how lucky I was to have such a sweet and thoughtful husband, as he has bought a bottle or two of nail polish for me on previous haircut visits as a nice little surprise.  I walked over to him to give him a kiss and say thank you when he bluntly said, "Why are you thanking me?  It's for Addie."  I won't lie, I was a bit taken back and humored at his comment all at the same time.  But anyway, Addie was pleased as I promptly painted her toes.  The only color she can regularly remember and identify is "pink" and she loves to showoff her painted toes.  Ben really likes to pamper his little girl and it sure is awfully cute.  :)

More Beach

We decided to go to Jean Klock Beach for the afternoon, which had these really cool stones near the shore.  The kids spent the first hour collecting them in their buckets.

Then we decided to do some burying... 
 
 


Then we had a little snack time in the wagon... 


Then we played around in the beach grass...


And then Wes & Addie practiced being Navy Seals...


The van is getting pretty loaded with sand, but we've decided to not worry about it until summer is over.  :)

Good Friends, Good Times

We went to the Dampeer's to hang out for a bit.  It was a jam packed weekend that even included some Olympic events for the kids and adults.  It was a hot one, so after a few of our events we gave the kids the smaller plastic pool while the six adults took over the (slightly) bigger blow up pool.  That was pretty fun.  I can just imagine all of their neighbors looking out their window and laughing at how crazy we looked sitting in that crowded pool.  But hey, we stayed cool...  :)
