Fishing!

No jellyfish yet, so we've been going to the beach a lot...

Now you see him...(note M in the background, wandering off to drown himself)...

Now you don't!  He has finally started dunking his face in the water (and he wanted me to take a picture to prove it)

Friday morning I was making waffles and noticed the children were being unusually quiet.  Oh no!  This can only mean one thing: poop!  But actually, no, they were cooperatively and nicely building a castle together with blocks.  Lest you begin to worry that the Apocalypse is nigh, I will reassure you that 3 seconds after I took this picture, someone smashed this building and the other two started crying...

Brothers fishing...nobody caught anybody else with a hook, so it was a definite success.  L even reeled in his first fish!  We didn't keep anything because they were little sunfish...but nobody stepped in/touched the animal poop that was all around, either!  So hooray!

M and Daddy cast off...

Who needs a fishing pole anyway?

I'm gonna find a turtle in the mud!

PS I wish I had a picture of F facing down the guard-alpaca on this farm.  Hilarious!  Inspirational (the boys picked up their own sticks on the way back to the car in honor of Daddy's bravery)!!!  Yaay for Dads!
