Beach dinners

We love to go down to the beach and have a picnic dinner. Summers are short around here, and we love to soak up as much summer as we can.

Raised beds are in!

We built the raised beds, and then had a couple yards of soil delivered to fill them in. G and I worked to move the soil from the driveway to the beds - and the kids joined in to help. Fi was loading up her beach pail with soil and carrying it over to the raised beds, and even O was helping to fill up buckets.
The planter by the walkway is about 6' by 15'...

And the planter by the house is about 5' by 25'. 

This will give us lots of room for planting! G is showing Fi how to plant sunflower seeds. 

A beach party

We were down at the beach for a friend's birthday party, and I caught these pics of my sweet girl:

Such a sweet girl.
