At the Beach--Part 4

Today was the picture-perfect day at the beach: sunny, not too hot, low humidity, and happy babies! We spent most of the day trying to keep Ryder from eating too much sand. :)

Ryder loves his new dump truck--thanks, Grann! 

"Hmmm, what's in this bucket?"

"Maybe just a small bite..."

"Shucks, Mommy caught me!"

Alison and Steve

"Mmmm...a whole dump truck load of sand!"

"Aww, come on! Just a taste!"

"It's too bright out here."

"Of course I didn't eat any sand! Why would you think that?"

More pictures! (This is so much easier than uploading a ton at the end of the week). Today we took a break from the sun and the beach in order to do a little shopping, so here is a variety of pictures.

Kendall took her morning nap on her daddy's tummy.

At the Beach--Part 2

Success! Ryder's personal pool made all the difference for our second day on the beach. He enjoyed standing in the water, with someone's help of course, and playing with his plastic cups. No meltdowns and no overheating--woohoo! :)
