back to the beach

Yikes, it's been awhile since I've had time to make a real post so watch out, there a quite a few today!

Two weeks ago, we had some fabulous weather ~ hot and sunny ~ so we took full advantage by spending the time out at the beach on Treasure Island.

On Friday, May 14th, we woke up to warm sunshine and promptly headed out to the swingset after breakfast.  Alli had a blast running around the yard and pushing Eli on the swing ;-)

Talk about a full morning . . . all that fun was before we took Alli to preschool, which starts at 9:30!

Of course the fun didn't stop there.  After preschool, we came home to play outside some more, this time at the water table . . .

A shot of our 'lil munchkins right after lunch.  Alli was "sitting on Eli's lap" :)

Then it was out to the water table where Alli wanted Eli to be able to play too so she tried to help him stand ~ it was so sweet and cute!!!

We talked G into coming home early so we could head out to the beach for dinner.  It was a perfect evening to be at the beach and both kids had a blast!

Eli wasn't too sure about the water . . .

But Alli had no problem sticking her feet in the chilly water :)

With his big sister by his side, Eli was a bit braver ;-)

After our fun throwing rocks, we went up for dinner.  Who doesn't love to eat with this in the background?!

Eli was intrigued with G's beer and tried very hard to get it from him.  Fortunately, G won that battle ;-)

After dinner, we put the kids in the stroller to take a walk around the island. 

We didn't actually make it too far as we ran into Uncle Wes and Aunt Bev so by the time we were done visiting it was time to head home ~ way past bed time!  The first beach day of the season was AWESOME!!!

Whew, this wound up being longer than expected so I guess beach day two will have to be its own post :)
