First Time in the Sand

We were invited to a beach pool birthday party today and the kids had an absolute blast!  They LOVE the sand.  

Clark loved digging in it and Claire enjoyed making a sandcastle with a moat around it!

This was the perfect way to see how the kids would like a beach trip, and hands down now we know they would love every second of it.  If you can't make it to the beach, then this is the best thing!  Only 15 minutes from home, but it's not open to the public, so we were so thankful to be invited to swim here today to celebrate William's birthday!

I have to say that prior to having kids, summer was definitely at the bottom of my list for favorite seasons because of the heat, but it has made it's way to the top seeing all the joy they have doing summer activities...not to mention all the memories we make and all the extra time I get with them since we are not on a school schedule.  I am absolutely loving this summer and holding on tight to everyday, knowing that each day brings us one day closer to Claire starting kinder and being in school more than ever before.
