The Sweetest Season

 The King had one more day of vacation left, so we packed a picnic and headed to the beach for the day.  It was much hotter than normal and the water was actually warm.  The kids spent almost the entire afternoon actually in the water.

 Buster loves to build in the sand.  Somehow, we forgot our buckets and shovels this time, but he was creative and used a water bottle and his hands to dig and make tunnels of water.

 This view never gets old and no matter how many times I see it, I cannot believe it's right in our neighborhood!

When the little kids got tired of swimming we spent some time at the playground.  I was surprised it was just us today, but it was really hot. Later in the afternoon Tea and Midge had softball practice which is also at the lake.  Afterwards it rained really hard and cooled off, making for a very pleasant evening.
