{ beach days }

We hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day Weekend.

We had a great time celebrating with friends and barbecues and some great times around town.

Of course, there were hot dogs.

And then we enjoyed "the beach."

There is an area in our downtown where they bring in hundreds of tons of sand for the kids to play on the waterfront. 

It's really pretty cool.

So we headed over.

We had lunch at a place that was... how shall we say?... delightfully tacky, yet unrefined.

Turtle took his grilled cheese quite seriously.

Then we went out to play.

He loves the sand.

And I love him.

After a little while, MacGyver started getting restless, and asked me how I would feel about a water taxi ride.

Ya'll. I don't do boats. I get hideously sea sick. I thought, maybe, for a second, if it was just a quick back and forth, I could do it. But as the docked taxi pulled away, and the next one floated up. 

And started rocking.

Back and forth.

Cue nausea.

So I gave them both a kiss and sent them on their way.

Turtle had so much fun.

He couldn't stop talking about it.

And those? Those are the best days.
