Where Are We?

It's not quite summer yet, but we are practicing for vacation.  Can you guess where the "beach" pictures were taken?  Liam wasn't there for that outing, but the two littles had such a grand time.  Look at Owen making a "sand angel" in the background of the one shot.  I hadn't really planned on giving baths that night...but they had so much fun in the sand.  I took the pictures on my phone and Jim really thought we had gone to the beach.

No...it was just a sand volleyball pit.  It was on our walk to a pond to feed ducks, turtles, and insanely aggressive fish.  There were some teenage girls practicing volleyball on another court, and we stopped to watch.  I'm trying to promote some interest in volleyball with Natalie...still trying to find a good team sport to utilize her height.  I'm not sure if she cared too much about the volleyball, but they both loved the sand.

Jim also took the boys for a little golf practice.  Owen was SO excited to be invited to join the big boys.  Right after that picture was taken he tried to walk off with that golf bag on his back and he fell right over from the weight.  He was NOT happy that we laughed at him.  Well, he was cute, anyway.  Jim had to convince him that it was okay to wear pink, and I think he wore it well.

So we're counting the days until we can use our vacation skills for real!
