4th of July

The 4th of July this year did not disappoint. The day after several super birthday celebrations for Marty's birthday, the sun was still shining and the weather was warm. Grandma and Papa came for a couple of days and we all had a great time spending the majority of the day walking down to Alki, playing at the Whale Tail park, the beach, and of course, dinner at Pegasus.
Benjamin is getting to the stage where he has no idea he is 3.5 years younger than his sister. He wants... demands, to do everything she does. At the end of every Pegasus meal, Josie goes up and asks for a lollipop. They are supposed to cost a quarter but since we go there all the time they always give it to her for free. This time the hostess, who has a little crush on Benjamin, gave her two. One for her and one for him. He LOVED his first lolly and really just licked it right down to the tootsie center.

We then spent the rest of the day down at the beach. The kids are playing together more and more. SOOO fun to see.

The tide was really low and we were able to walk along and look for "treasures".Josie found a huge piece of seaweed.

And then convinced me to bury her. I have never understood this concept but she loved it, with sand everywhere and all.

And what would a summer day at the beach be without an ice cream cone.



Thanks for the visit, Grandma and Papa!!
