Beautiful day

After Hunter's preschool on Wednesday we had Denver come over for a play date. I gave everyone Nutella and Strawberry jelly sandwiches on homemade bread and let them eat on the porch with the big glass doors open to the outside. What a wonderful picnic! After they were done I let them each have a Gatorade popsicle we froze in some old Tupperware molds. They chalked in the driveway, which turned into throwing smaller pieces into the street and watching cars smash them to powder. I had them trace the outline of the fence shadow so they could watch how the sun moved across the sky. (Yes, I know that's not technically accurate, but the point is that there is movement by heavenly bodies).
I took them down to the beach in front of the house and let them play in the water. They took socks, shoes and pants off and I warned them not to go so deep as to get anything else wet. They're kids, so of course they pushed the limits. The water was SO calm, it was perfect for letting them run through. We've never done anything like this before, so the kids were reveling in the novelty of it all. If you look close you can see Denver's six-pack. According to his mom, he watches Sporticus a lot which has developed his physical prowess.
