A Summer Saturday on the Boat

Beach Boys

We've definitely been having beach weather lately...both boys absolutely love going to the beach to play. It's perfect when the tide is low and we can play chase in the shallow water and run in the waves and collect rocks. Parker is getting much more comfortable in the water, and Levi is rather too brave for his own good. Once the tide starts to come up and the water gets deeper and the waves get a little stronger I tend to be in over my head a bit with the two of them on my hands, and it's time to head home! Timing is everything, must arrive at the beach just before or at low tide, then by the time everyone's tired out and cold we can head home!

It was hysterical watching Levi try to negotiate his big old towel as we dried off to head home. He wanted to put it over his head like the hooded towel he uses at home after his bath, but just couldn't figure out how to make it happen. He played a little peek-a-boo, and then I just took pictures and giggled as he tried to make his way to the car. Then I gracefully fell into a hole that someone had dug in the sand as I walked along backwards while taking pictures of him, so there you go.

Pool Partying

We've had gorgeous, hot sunny weather lately, so we've had plenty of opportunities to cool off in the water.
