A hole in six

back Megan and Ally, front Zoe, Alexa, Logan and Diego . Megan and Alexa (and their parents) were in town this weekend, so we all met up at the beach. What a day! Six 3, 4 and 5 year olds in the surf and sand. While out in the waves, they would chant "deeper, deeper" trying to coax the adults out farther in the water. While on the shore, it was fashionable to have every inch of their body covered in sand. They've come a long way since those couch pictures!

Life's a Beach

As our summer vacation comes to a quick end, we headed to the beach to celebrate my friend, Malinda's birthday. It was a beautiful day and the water was just the right temperature, warm enough that it didn't shock you or take time to get used to it but cool enough to be a refreshing relief from the warm sand.

Diego shared his boogie board with the rest of the kids, and they were ready to hang ten!

But wave jumping and diving was much more fun, plus it really kept all their moms on alert as they pushed to go deeper and deeper. At one point Logan turned to me and yelled "I can't believe this is my life, I'm swimming out in the ocean with these big waves!!!"

I LOVE our Library!

"I've got style"

Today was Lo's first day at ESS! He picked out this clothing combination because it's "his style". Luckily, the other kids at ESS weren't bothered by this Y chromosome version of Punky Brewster, because he had a BLAST! Didn't want to leave and demanded that he come back. DEAL! but maybe next time with matching clothes.

The Creature from the Summerfield Lagoon

You would think we were leaving for the weekend, not just walking down the block to the pool. You'll notice in the picture above that he is wearing his new kindergarten backpack, he packed it with markers and paper because "while we are at the pool, I want to draw". Doesn't everyone?

But I did get this great shot of the fish in action!
