We heart sand (and water)

Who doesn't love the beach?  We don't know. We do know that we go there as often as possible during the summer months, and we stay there as long as we possibly can.  It never gets old. 

Ahhhhhhh


Early June, before school let out, so Mills and Soccer Head here had the place to themselves


Kicking the ball around


Go, Eli, go!


Then there's this little sand monster



A little later in the summer, Liz's niece and nephew came to town. 
We took them to Natural Bridges Beach.


Apparently there used to be two bridges (thus the plural name), but I've only ever seen this one


Let the burying begin!


The kids thought this was about the coolest thing ever: the girl with no body

Garbage Bags R Us



If we don't have time to get to the beach, we always have the sprinkler.
Labor Day was hot, so after some fun hiking & picnicking with Noam and Margaret,
the kiddos wanted to cool off in the backyard.

You lookin' at me?


Oh, Lizzy, you always get the cute shots of me


Baby, you can drive my car

Did I do this to my girls? All three of you LOVE the beach and go as often as you can. I can remember visits to Alki, to Woodland park, green lake, the little lake up by the church ranch, redfish and trips to the ocean. I'm glad you all got my passion for it! ;)
