A Day at the Beach

 We braved the weather forecast of 50 percent chance of rain and went to the beach this morning. It turned out to be beautifully sunny. :) (I'll ignore the fact that it poured right before we got there, stopped, then poured after we left.) We splashed in the waves, built a sand castle with the most awesome tunnel ever, and hunted ghost crabs. 

Summer's almost gone, and we start school this week. It's gone so fast....

Have a wonderful day!

In the Backyard

With a borrowed longboard....Michael loves his wheels ;)

Curiousity....

My siblings deigned to pose for me today, and I had fun capturing some candid and posed shots. :)

Hiking

On the Lake

We stayed with some good friends of ours for a few days this past week...and they live on a lake! 

They took us out in their boat, and we had so much fun! :)

Chapel & Gardens

A good friend took us to visit some beautiful gardens and a glass chapel this afternoon.
