Lifes's a beach -- Day 4

I don't know how I'm ever going to get caught up, between things like Labor Day, Randi Kay's wedding, MY NEW NIECE, Halloween, and other posts I need to write... but I vow not to give up!

Tuesday, our last day at the beach, was the best one by far--we were finally able to find an activity that held the boys' attention for more than a couple of minutes!

They started off the morning with some digging and watering the sand. (Reid's in the gray sunglasses and Grant's in the blue.)

 

And then Mimi gave them the coolest toys of all--empty water bottles--and suddenly they were boys on a mission.

 

 

 

Apparently they don't need shovels, trucks, or boogie boards to have fun -- just some good, old-fashioned garbage will work just fine, thankyouverymuch.

 

 

 

The Wolf men supervised from afar:

And once the boys figured out they could use the bottles to drench each other, the fun really kicked into overdrive.

The bottles bought us at least 45 minutes of peace for the first time in four days. And when the shine wore off, the little wolves ventured into the waves with the big wolves:

We went back to the beach that afternoon after naps, so stay tuned for part 2 of this post...
