“We Built That, Mama!”

First of all, isn’t this the coolest cloud formation you have seen?  Seriously, Double Bluff beach is a kick, which is why we log in so many hours there.

Kyla, Piper, Wesley, Friend, Friend, and Friend spent 3-4 hours Tuesday afternoon building a teepee out of driftwood, and used kelp to decorate it.

Today we went back so the kids could continue working on their fort and then they “had to” build a bridge, with more wood, sand, shells, and rocks.

Everyone, except Mama, who had books to read, helped.

I love  how the girls collected seaweed to make the teepee walls waterproof (and on sunny days, it works great!).

And after all that play, Wesley is exhausted and wants to sleep NOW!

Just in Time for Summer—A Grill!

This little baby was $100 on Craigslist and a Weber nearly identical to ours at home—except clean, unrusted, and with a rotisserie.
