Lazy days . . .

I have to admit that I really savor every day we get to spend with my parents and at the beach. It's a grueling drive (especially solo with the boys) to get here, so once we're here, we make the most of every day. Weather permitting, we spend as much time as possible at the beach. I am happy in the sun, boys are happy with buckets, shovels, and endless water and sand.

Ethan was a little disappointed when he learned that Tahoe sand isn't quite right for building sandcastles, so . . .

. . . thanks for helping build the "pool," Grampaw!

And I absolutely love watching my little boys spending at least a part of their summer doing the same things I did during my childhood summers: Exploring the rocks and water, looking for minnows, crawdads . . . and bugs, of course!

I almost can't stand the thought of going home except that we all miss Greg and are excited to get back into our Wyoming groove with new friends and new places to explore.
