(July 28th)

The calendar says it’s summer, but our weather here in the PNW suggests otherwise. There was an article that came out in July saying that we have had 78 minutes over 80 degrees in 2011. Except that we’ve only had 18 hours and some odd minutes over 75 degrees. Ridiculous, right? The rest of the country is in a drought and we’ve had the cloudiest summer in the last 50 years. Not cool. So when we have a day above 70 degrees, we hit the beach.

Ella loves to eat at the beach. She finally has decided she likes the water, too, but not until she eats. Jameson, on the other hand, wore his life vest down to the water from the car. He ran right in.

We love days that we can actually be outside in shorts little lone bathing suits. The kids love digging in the sand and playing in the water.
