My baby boy is turning 3 tomorrow and he has been BEGGING to go to the beach. We packed the family van full of beach towels, sunscreen, cold drinks & sammies and headed out to Longview Lake for a little low-key birthday celebration and to hang out with the cousins!!
We stopped at the Marina and fed the carp. WOW! There were TONS of them today, and they were HUNGRY! I thought I had a lot of mouths to feed!! There were so many fish & they were crawling all over eachother, and then the ducks and geese were walking on top of them. Kinda crazy. Ava cracked us all up with her comment . . . "I haven't seen a fight like THAT since preschool!!" Apparently, it involved a very cool puzzle.

We had a little picnic & ate some birthday cookies and then headed to the beach to cool off. The sand was SO HOT it almost took the skin off the bottom of our feet, but the water felt great and everyone had a blast!!!
Everyone took turns getting tossed in the air . . .
Andrew floated along rather happily . . .
And we all played hard!
OK, actually we all floated lazily in the cool lake waters and enjoyed a momentary respite from the 106 degree temperatures. It was awesome, and, for a brief moment in time ALL FIVE kids were happy. That in itself is an accomplishment.
