A Perfect Beach Day

The last few weeks have been long for all of us.
Between Dallin working long hours and the miserable stomach flu hitting Luke, then me, then Jack, we haven't gotten out much and were all ready for some fun today.
For the last week, Jack has been begging to go to the beach.
So we went.
And it was the perfect day to be there.


There was a light breeze.
Just enough for great kite-flying, not so bad you'll blow away.
And it created the perfect temperature.


Jack even braved flying it on his own - for about 30 seconds.



The water was perfect - not the warm bath tub temperature it usually is.
It was cool enough that it was refreshing.
We had a great time playing and swimming.


Luke was in absolute heaven.
He got to play with Daddy, crawl around, and explore.


He was obsessed with watching the kite.
Every couple of minutes, he would have to make sure it was still up in the air (we had attached it to the truck to keep it flying) and giggled in delight when he saw it again.



Jack kept busy digging.
He first started digging for treasure.
When he couldn't find any treasure, he contented himself digging for shells.



Luke had no fear when it came to the water.
He would just crawl right out into the waves and smile happily.
He didn't even seem to mind when they hit him in the face.
I think he would have kept crawling to South America if we'd let him.
Such a cute little water baby.


The boys built a sandcastle with a moat, bridge, and multiple towers.
It was pretty amazing.


Can you get any happier?


We brought our grill and grilled up hot dogs in the back of the truck.


Tail gate party!


Yum, yum!

We couldn't have asked for a better beach day and are all feeling happy and refreshed after some summer fun!
