Tide Pools

recently kyle's kindergarten class went to the tide pools (we didn't actually get to see the tide pools themselves because the tide was too high!) so the kids basically got to play around at the beach.

here is kyle taunting the waves - he was dancing and saying nyah nyah...

 
...of course the waves will always win, so here he is running away! 
as previously stated, the waves will always win! (a certain someone was a little upset to get his pants soaked!)

throwing rocks seems like a safer adventure!

if you look close, you'll see that the sand has kyle's name (with a little help from dad!)

 
this is such a rare picture for a couple of reasons: 1. you will almost never see me in front of the camera lol and 2. this means i actually handed over our new camera to someone else momentarily! (i thought it had been surgically attached, but i was apprently wrong lol)

we got to see a seal...

and a crab! (look close i promise he's there)

whose super cute kid is this?! alright, i admit he's mine!

kevin decided to take his chances with the waves...

 
and of course ended up running away (like son like father?) hee hee

Random pics

this picture CRACKS ME UP!!!

 
this wig was all the rage with the kids when we took our last trip to utah to visit stephanie

i know this picture is blurry (i am still trying to figure out how to get good action shots - the camera is smarter than me!! lol), but even so i love this shot of zachary jumping out of the swing

 
yeah, i really do love my camera (anyone sick of hearing that yet?!)

Bubbles

here are the kids blowing bubbles (one of their favorite activities!)

 
on first glance, this may look like a bad picture, but i actually really like it. the bubbles are really clear, and jordan is a little blurry, and the background is really blurry. it's like it has layers. you may have to click to enlarge it to see what i'm babbling about! lol
