Because nothing would be more exciting than spending a weekend with the K fam, no?

Kidding. I said that I’d share pics so here goes!

Every time we’re at the beach it’s high noon and really challenging to shoot so I’ve been saying that I want to go around sunset sometime. Soooooo we arrived on Friday, late afternoon, killed some time and walked down to the beach area but it was only 6:30 - not quite sunset - and still a bit of a challenge with the sun. I made the best of it and love that I can see everyone together.

Addy played in the sand a little while posing like a little lady…heh heh:

While Liam busted out some of his best soccer moves with his favorite colored ball:

And when soccer got old he wrote in the sand…what that he’s writing? Why it’s “solar power to the people”…apparently the video he watched on the drive up stuck with him and the song was catchy:

Then Addy licked the sand off of her fingers like frosting, started chewing and crunching the sand grossing mommy out so we walked home and went to bed.

The end of Friday.

Saturday the “walk team” went out in the morning while I napped Finner. After he woke up, we got our best babysitter to watch the baby:

while we (ok Nate) got a fire ready to roast marshmallows. Only the really cool bedtime conscious parents roast marshmallows in the afternoon.

But daddy took a little too long to get the fire going:

but finally got something going which was just what we needed to get roasting.

Addy found them to be quite yummy although she was still thinking about it (the tongue helps with the thinking):

While Liam practically inhaled his (and didn’t notice that we found a brand that didn’t contain blue #1). And can anyone tell me WHY most marshmallow brands contain blue 1 in the ingredients anyway?

I’m guessing in this photo Addy was saying “is urs dood wee-um?”

That’s “is yours good Liam” for those who don’t speak 2 year old.

Apparently marshmallow roasting is tiring so a box (aka the fire starter) acts as the perfect place to rest:

And then once the kids were full of sugar and crazy energy we went off of the beach where addy found the perfect puddle to sit in and scoop sand from one bucket to the other:

while Liam played the part of a beached whale.

A cold beached whale trying to warm up on the sand.

And then back to the cottage for a rest…but the littlest had other plans so mom took advantage and pulled out the camera:

And then off to the park to finish off the day. A few rides on the little dipper:

A quick ride on the plane with “Miss don’t mess with me I’ll take you out right now”:

And another ride here because who can pass up seeing the infamous gum wall just one last time.

There were more rides but I just can’t show it all people.

Bath. Bed. Bye bye Saturday.

On Sunday we came home and mom didn’t take any photos because she was exhausted from Saturday.

The End.
