clam spit



it's red tide so we can't dig the clams up and eat them but they sure love to spit!

Sand fight!

the twinks started a sand fight and about 10 minutes into Samantha got in on the action. They spent a good half hour throwing sand at each other. They were laughing and having a grand ol time!

When it was time to go we walked out on to the road and lo and behold there was Papa driving by in his pick up! The girls jumped in the back and we road home!. They sure didnt like getting squirted down with the hose!

the tide is coming in....

the twinks island....going
going
going

gone!

fun w the Frere's

Last week while we were staying out at Birch Bay my good friend Kelly and her family came out for the afternoon evening. The kids swam, we all walked down to the C shop and took our time walking back on the beach, Ended the day with a wienie roast on the beach! Good ol wholesome fun day!
Sydney, Courtney and Bailee wading through the tide flats...
Sam and Brooks hit it off well. I said man if they were 14 and 16 I might be a little worried :)

who doesnt love a wienie roasted over an open fire!

we took a group shot then Sydney came up to me and whispered she wasnt smiling right and she wanted to take another one...

swim lessons

Teacher Amber and the girls!
Samantha and Sydney have got this whole swimming thing down. Courtney does when she wants to but is more skittish of the water. She loves playing it with a floaty or in the shallow end but the minute she cant touch the ground she sort of freaks out. Amber the swim teacher figured out on the last day of swim lessons that as long as she is in front of her she'll swim. Just have to keep on practicing!!

the jelly belly bus

took the kids into town to go see the jelly belly bus. We were disappointed that it was broke down and it was just a VW bug. We did get to play the game where you spin the wheel and where it lands you have to try one it could either be good or bad. The twins both spun and got "blue berry or toothpaste" they both ended up with toothpaste which they liked. Sam spun and it landed on "Caramel corn or moldy cheese" thankfully she got the caramel corn. I landed on spinners choice and it was either "coconut or diaper wipes" Yay for coconut! I read one that was pear or boogers but none of my kids (or me) wanted to take that chance! The grocery store also had a 50% off special so the kids and I each filled up a bag! We also filled one up with just black licorice and few raspberries for Jon! got close to 4 lbs of jelly bellies. I want to take them on the tour of the factory in Fairfield, CA next time we are down there.
