Ice Cream Beach

We had lunch at Sharky's restaurant right on the ocean.


A perfect day of sunshine.


These funny birds stayed close to us all afternoon. When we ventured down the beach for a walk they sat on our blanket. They were friendly enough...


and very synchronized (except that one on the end).

Robots, Cousins, Sunshine, Rain

The latest favorite past time is being robots. Bucket on head=robot. We chase each other around and do robot dances. It's pretty awesome.

Pleasant Lake was overwhelmed with the visit of (from L to R) Hanna, Ella, Ezra, Connor, and Isaac. They swam, swam, swam and watched local favorites Mamma Mia and Cottage Cheese.
Bread Man is a hero among this crowd.

Sparkly water tube time with Grandma.

Crackers at Itasca State Park Beach. We saw a snapping turtle and a crawfish! They're doing some construction on the building site, to explain the orange fence. Ezra's sunglasses collection is growing!

Thanks for the underdog, Grandpa!

In his swimsuit, with his umbrella, in the rain, eagerly awaiting the sun.
