long weekend!

we had a fun and productive long weekend! we toured the boulder creek festival (lucy rode her first carnival ride!) and tristen and i did the bolder boulder 10K! both were so fun! scott painted the kitchen and cleaned the garage. we planted herbs in the backyard and shrubs in the front...watched a huge hail storm, and just had a great time being outside as a family and with people we love.

three!

the beach!

we are just back from a great time at the beach with scott's folks. what a treat! we stayed in gigi and grandpa's beach house (as lucy called it) right on the shore so we were able to head down to the beach whenever we felt like it - any time of day. the girls loved being with gigi and grandpa, exploring, eating ice cream every day, being in the sun and sand, and just being in a beautiful place very different from their home. i took way too many pictures, but my five great subjects (and their beautiful surroundings) gave me a great opportunity to practice photography. thanks for a great week, gigi and grandpa!!!
