Party at the beach

Giving my brother a ride.


Having a great time!

Kian and Julean were invited to Stella's second birthday party the weekend of June 13th. It was a beach party at Hamsterly Beach (I love the name!) and, thankfully, it was just warm enough to play in the water and make castles in the sand. Actually the whole weekend was about sand and water for the boys because we finally got the pool out and filled it up. Julean thought he was in heaven getting to do all the things his big brother gets to do.

Julean building, and eating, his first sand castles!

They had a blast at the birthday party and it was difficult to wrench them away from the beach. With much protesting from both we did manage to get them in the car and of course, they were so worn out the didn't make it home.

Party clothes at the beach and loving it!

Can't wait to get in the water

Mark and I were able to get some more stuff done in the garden and Mark finally started tearing down the walls in the former dining room which will become the library. This is our second room to renovate and insulate. Hopefully it won't take as long as the spare room! Let's see what we find in these walls....

Kian's first canoe ride!


He did a great job paddling.

A fun ride with daddy!
