the last of it...

This weekend we bid farewell to some of the last decent weather of the year.  The sun was shining but it was really chilly out.

  Dan, Ruby and I met Nate, Annie and Jackson at Lena beach after church and had a small BBQ. 

 The afternoon was filled with good company, good conversation and good weather.

 After eating we went down to the water and sat the baby's down and let them suck on rocks

 while their papa's threw rocks in the water.

 Ruby was really intrigued with the rocks splashing in the water.

The day ended with Ruby reading her papa's motorcycle magazine..

Sand

 On Sunday my friend Annie and I took the kiddo's to the beach!  The day started out super sunny and warm, once we got to the beach the clouds had rolled in but luckily it was still warm! 

 I let Ruby have fun in the sand.  She was way into dipping her toys in the sand while her friend Jackson just wanted to dig holes!

 She face planted!

Ruby is also doing great at eating, so far she has tasted avocado, apples, pears, sweet potatoes and whole grain brown rice cereal. 

Memorial Day..

 ..the weather was uh-mazing!  After celebrating my nephews birthday (post about that below) a bunch of us headed out to the boyscout beach.  Its a beautiful, long, sandy beach at the end of a forest walk.  Its days like those that make me really appreciate where I live!

 Ruby loved laying on the blanket in the fresh hot air.

 She also loved having her feet in the sand. 

 First time in the sand!
