Fishing At The Beach

HIGH:  We spent a great day at the beach :)
LOW: Daddy had to work so he had to meet us there later :(

This morning Mark took the kids to the grocery store while I finally tackled some of that laundry that has been piling up! After Mark brought the kids home, he had to work so I took the kids up to the beach.

Oliver was very excited to do a little fishing with his fishing pole!

It was so cute, he really knew what to do with the fishing pole!

Oliver's big catch of the day was a stick.  He kept saying, "I can use this stick to learn my letters!"

Claire had fun digging a hole with Grandpa.

While Oliver checked out the boats with his "Vinaculars".

Claire found this log and had a blast walking on it.

Grandma had a blast walking on it too.

Oliver needed a little help but he had a blast too.

Oliver found the bubbles and had a great time blowing bubbles.  He is not very good at it but the wind helped him out.

Then Claire and Oliver flipped over some buckets and had a seat to blow more bubbles.  Oliver would blow them and Claire would catch them.  It was really cute, they did this forever!

Then Daddy came and helped Claire and Oliver dig a huge hole.

And Oliver could not wait to be buried in it!

He thought this was the most hilarious thing ever.

Claire couldn't wait for her turn to be buried in the sand.

Oliver tried so hard to pull Claire out!

When he couldn't get her out by pulling on her arm he decided to try pulling her out by her head (and her hair).

When we got back to the cottage, the kids were covered in sand (even though they rinsed off in the water).  So Oliver had a blast using the hose to rinse off.

It was hilarious when he accidentally sprayed himself in the face!  When he realized the everyone was laughing, of course he kept spraying it in his face!

After the kids were all cleaned up Mark and I took Grandma and Grandpa's bikes for a nice ride around Sunset.  I haven't ridden a bike in years!  But it was really fun and surprisingly relaxing.  I think we need to get some bikes!

We had a great day at the beach.  I am so lucky to have all this time off in the summer to do all this fun stuff with my kids.  I am also SUPER lucky to have great in laws that have an awesome cottage at the beach!!
