Beach Time again!!!!

We have a love/hate relationship with the beach.....LOVE THE BEACH! HATE THE SAND!

But today was a beautiful beach day! The sun was very very hot but the water was perfect! We got an umbrella finally and bents had her own little pop up tent so everybody stayed nice and cool. Come to find out though that Bentley is not a big fan of the beach. She held on to my neck so tight when we walked into the water and when I dipped her toes she didn't know what to think. Hearing and seeing the waves made her uneasy and pretty sure she does not like to be hot so her fav spot was right under the umbrella in Mommy's arms until nap time then she was happy as a clam when I put her down. She stretched right out and slept soooo good.

Another first, Mac snorkeled! He loved being under the water and seeing the fishies. At first he kept forgetting that he could breath with the tube and so he kept coming up for air but once he figured it out he had a ball. Had a hard time with the flippers but he insisted he needed them. They did look complete the ensemble I guess. LOL. Love my little fish so much!

4th of July fun

We had so much fun playing with our friends over fourth of July weekend. McCoy got to ride his bike in the annual wellington ward bike parade and he was stoked because last year we didn't let him do it sans training wheels because he was still a little wobbly but this year the wheels came off! He was so proud to be riding around like the big boys. After the pancake breakfast we went over to some friends for a BBQ and pool play day. It rained the whole time but that didnt stop the kids from swimming and the grown ups from enjoying some good conversation and yummy food.

Sunday we did more BBQ'n and watching a firework show. Bentley loved it! Mac was still a little scared (he has never been one for the firworks), but he braved through it. He watched the loud fireworks from inside the house on the stairs and then when a couple of other kids got scared and we moved them inside, they seemed much more happier to watch the show from the kitchen window LOL. It was a fun fun weekend.
