Let the beach season begin

It is that time of year again.

I love that we live close to the beach and get to enjoy it often. Emma dancing on rocks.
Nate digging into the mines of Moria (the boys are listening to the Hobbit).

What ever Emma can do Jo can do too!!!

The boys were busy working on their pool/dam system.

Yep we had a great time:)

Beach Day in March

We made it to the beach this week. Can you believe that? And we were not all bundled up and we actually stayed awhile and enjoyed a nice early spring type day on a New England beach.

I believe this is the earliest warm day at the beach in March. I just hope spring is here and it will get only warmer.

We all had a great time. It got a little windy at the end.

What a beautiful day.

Day at the beach

This was a last minute thing. After we finished most of our school this morning we packed the car and headed to the beach. It was a very nice day and I am glad we did. We even ran into our old friends who never met Jordan. The kids were busy playing even though I still think the water here in New England is way too cold.

I think it is funny how you can tell Jo has been playing in the sand.

She did not want to leave the beach. I have no pictures of the boys. They are always busy playing on the rocks and I was catching up with my old friend so I took some time off from taking pictures.

You are probably wondering what kind of beach we went to. Can you see the beautiful parrot?

After we left the beach and headed to the playground a guy on a motorcycle passed by and the boys started screaming:"mom look he has a a parrot on his shoulder!"

He was just cruising around but he did stop and let me take some pictures. He even let the kids hold the parrot.

I love this picture of Nate. As soon as I saw him through the lens I knew this picture will make it on the wall (Nate is my most challenging child when it comes to pictures).

Anyway we had a blast and even made it on time to Sam's soccer practice.

What a great day at the beach.

Day @ the Beach

With the temperatures around 70 even by the ocean you bet we headed to the beach after school.

It was a nice to enjoy a warm ocean breeze without cold winds.

And play in the sand.

We had a great time.

Guess Who? Beach NH style

We had very good friends spend the weekend with us. Can you guess who they are? Yep it is the Carpenters.

We have been looking forward to their visit for a long time.

Today we took them enjoy the beach NH style.

Well it was beautiful from the car. We did get out to breathe the fresh air and it was COLD. We bundled everybody up. I was cold. Not that I did not have warm clothes on I was just too busy taking pictures and my fingers were freezing.

We spend most of the time at the playground by the beach and I believe you can see from the pictures we all had fun.

Our little American girl.

Daddy's playing with their girls.

Like I said we ALL had a good time.

We did stop for a little bit in Portsmouth and did walk around but our tummies were grumbling and we were only 1 mile from Maine so we had to cross the border to get some world famous fish and chips.

We did visit our favorite toy store.

New England clam chowder

Was a big hit with Alexandra

and Josiah.

World famous fish and chips.

OK so I leave the chips part out and I had steam vegetables on my plate.

On the other hand Emma did have fish and chips. Can you tell she was enjoying her lunch?

The boys enjoying burgers.
Anybody else coming over?
