Our Little Corner of the World: Jacob's Birthday

July 6th is Jacob's birthday. We celebrated by doing the things he enjoys most - water and sand. I took the kids to the beach and this time I took my camera! They had a great time. We followed up the trip to the beach with heading to a restaurant for dinner.

What a disaster. The first restaurant had a LONG wait, so we headed to a local place that people bragged on. We waited forever to get our drink orders taken. She asked for our orders only to be told that we did not have menus. She brought us menus and then 10 minutes later when we still didn't have our drinks and hadn't placed an order, we decided we would go somewhere else. So, off to Pizza Hut we went. It was fast and yummy!

After dinner, we went to the beach and walked out to the lighthouse and enjoyed playing in the sand at dusk. This was definitely a memory making evening! By the time we got home, Jacob was so tired he didn't even want to eat his birthday cake. He decided to wait until the next morning!

Building a water tunnel with a holding area

Ok, how far out will Brycen follow him?

The answer? Not very far. He liked running up and down the beach more than he liked being in the water.

Lizzie loved the waves smashing into her.

Jacob in his element - water!

Look closely and you will see Lizzie under the water chasing Brycen. They were playing sharks.

Some Lighthouse pictures

As we walked on the pier, we found some small dead fish. In this picture, Brycen is adamantly telling Mom that they are too little and he needs to throw them back in! We said they were yucky and he just said, once again, "They are too little! Throw them back!"
