Our Own Private Idaho {BeAcH}

We are so excited for summer! Yesterday was actually HOT, like, I got in the lake hot. Like, 5 hours on the beach hot.

We had some friends over for lunch and had a fun time picnic-ing on our new grassy picnic spot. It's not yet lush and green, but the sod (from the new flower beds that we cut out and moved down a few weeks ago) is doing pretty good! Plus, Dustin brought over a couple of loads of sand and we have a pretty sweet beach! Probably the best beach in, say, a 50 mile radius... :)

Well, after lunch and playing, we went in and I put Hudson down and Kennedy did her homework, but we just couldn't stay inside, so we went back out for a few more hours while Hudson snoozed. Ahhh, laying in the shade, reading my latest Dean Koontz in peace, that is my heaven. I didn't even think about the chores I should've been doing. I went in and woke Hudson up after a few hours and then we played in the sand some more.

Not a bad sand castle! And after only one lesson!

Those are some happy faces! And yes, Kennedy's pose scares the crap out of us...

Enjoying some snacks after some serious sand building (and demolishing)...Don't you love our red-neck umbrella-support-system? It was a gorgeous day, but, yes, we were still in S.E. Idaho. Hello, wind.

What a great day! Summer, bring it on! We are ready!
