Playing at the park

Sorry about all of the pictures in the last couple posts, I got a new camera and so i've been taking millions =) I know Ashlyn is making the same face in all of them but she was just so darn cute. The kids have so much fun at the park it is hard to get them to head home!

A day at the beach

We took the kids to the beach last weekend and they had a blast. Aiden got a snorkel, mask and fins and after several practice dives in the bath, he was ready to try it in the ocean.



This is the view from the road driving down to the beach.....I just thought it was pretty!

St. Luis beach

It's on the Navy base



Aiden getting his gear on to go "diving"

He looks like Scuba Steve!

Walking out with Daddy!

He went right to it, the boy is like a fish!

Ashlyn playing in the sand!

Just hanging out in the water!

I love this one, Sean was teaching him how to keep water out of his mask!

How cute are they?

I love this one too, Aiden wants to be just like his daddy!

So that was our day at the beach, I know there are a million pictures but I took the opportunity to play with my new camera!!!

Another craft........

So we decided to try out another craft. We started with a bag of Fruit Loops and 6 cups. The kids sorted the loops by color. They LOVED this part and asked to do several more piles of loops before we moved on. (Please excuse Ashlyn's hair, we did this right after breakfast)

Next the kids poured each color into a baggie.

Then crushed them up until they resembled sand

Finally I let them pick the colors and they dumped them in baby food jars. I thought it was interesting that they each made a pattern.

This was another really easy craft and the kids had a blast. I think they turned out pretty cute!!!
