the beach

On our list of things to do this summer Levi listed that he wanted to go to the beach so when I heard that the local beach had been cleaned up and actually safe to be at for this summer I was thrilled!  We only hit the beach one time late July, but it was a blast.  It was a perfect sunny, hot day to enjoy the beach.   And it was actually an afternoon that we got to spend as an entire family!  (very, very rare right now!)
Levi was especially loving it.  That boy and water - it's about his favorite thing ever.  He had no fear to get right in, put his face under and swim.  I am so thankful to whoever it was that invented life jackets!
As we walked up we found my mom and a couple friends who were at the beach too. A perfect surprise!  (I had actually called her to see if she wanted to come with but she didn't answer!)  She was more than willing to relax on the beach holding a baby while I got to get in the water with the big boys.  By the way - notice Titus' shoes in the picture - it's the one and only time he's ever worn shoes!
Titus loved the water too.  I did bring his swimsuit, but he just stuck with a diaper which was super full when we got done - I definitely have a new respect for the absorbency of Target brand diapers!
Both Isaiah and Levi are little fish.  They were practicing their swimming skills all over the lake! 
After a bit, Caiden and LeAnna joined us at the lake.  The boys loved splashing with Caiden!  They even made it all the way out to the buoys with Mark! 
What a great afternoon at the beach!  Great idea Levi!
