A Monday at the Beach!





Monday afternoon, we headed down to the oceanfront so Jon could see the beach!! He was very impressed with the size of it (everybody always loves the "pumping sand in for expansion" story) and loved being able to see it. We packed a picnic dinner and played in the sand for a bit before the big entertainment of the evening - a family bike ride!! Josiah has been asking all summer to do this, so this was the perfect occasion!! The boys absolutely thought it was the BEST. David and Jon thought it was harder work than they had bargained for, and I was just trying not to fall out of the bike or drop Callie (oh, and pedal occasionally too). It was a beautiful evening though, and the boys all got some DQ at the end of it. (I laughed out loud when I read Mandy's blog from last weekend - they did the SAME thing!!)

The men do get more than they bargain for with those bikes. Joe swears we'll never do it again. It is so much work. What a fun night on the beach - in October!
