Our summer is cranking right along…

 

Have you gotten a look at our Summer Bucket List lately? We have been knocking things off really fast this summer!

 

I had to go to the big city yesterday to pick up some awards and patches for my Girl Scout troop. We are having our end of the year BBQ this weekend. Since we were going two hours away anyway.. we decided to make a day of it.

 

What did we do you ask???!!

Headed to another State Park of course!!

 

First we stopped at Two Lighthouse State Park, and did some sight seeing. The kids looked for star fish, crabs, and whatever else they could come up with! I looked for some good photo’s to take!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then we headed a half mile down the road, to Crescent Beach State Park. The kids got to take a swim, and play on the beach. They were super excited to play in the sand. The water was a bit cold in my opinion. Again I was just looking for some good photo’s to take!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then today… the kids played, and did school at the park.. and then we went to see Smurf’s at the free movies. Took a pit stop at the playground and had some lunch. We are absolutely enjoying our summer! How about you??!

 

 

Our trip to the ocean….

was a nice success!!! We had a blast. The kids were super excited, and beyond happy to head out to the beach. We gathered all our sand buckets, packed our picnic baskets, and umbrella (ok, that was more for me).

Of course the 2 hr trip to get there was not their favorite. However, they only started to ask if “we were there yet” as we were nearing the last half hour.

Once they did see the beach, they were super excited! The view was gorgeous! The water was so blue and amazingly beautiful!

The kids had no fears and ran right in… luckily it was fairly shallow for a bit, and they were able to go out a while before they were over their heads. They absolutely loved trying to jump the waves, and just testing their under water skills.

We sighted a few para-sailers, and dolphins! It was a wonderful day, and everyone had a blast!
