grandchildren

In Seattle, when the sun comes out, it’s a novelty. Particularly this year because it’s almost the end of July and we are just now starting to have temperatures cresting around 80F. Since the sun is such a rare occurrence around here, I suppose I could – almost – forgive all the multitudes of fashion faux-pas that burned my retinas yesterday. I really wish I had more time to snoop photograph some of them, but also some of them would have not been suitable for work (or family). Maybe next time. Instead, I’ll inundate you with cute pictures of my grandkids.

Sunday afternoon my youngest daughter, Stacy, and I took the kids to Mulkilteo, WA. It was crowded. (Have I ever mentioned I don’t like crowds? I always feel like I’m being stared at. Truth is, I’m staring at everyone else. Ha!) We meandered down to the water where I started off telling the boys they could only get into the water up to their ankles. What was I thinking? That’s like torture to a little boy at the beach. I remembered I had extra shorts in the car, so the tops came off and the shorts turned into swim trunks. Poor Evan. He has no butt and is so skinny (but eats like a bottomless pit) that his shorts kept falling off him like a little old man with no belt. Laila absolutely loves water and I give her mommy credit for this and getting her used to water from a very early age. Hopefully she can get her in some swim lessons when she gets a bit bigger.

Cayden loved playing with this huge piece of floating driftwood. (Is that redundant? Floating driftwood…just the editor in me surfacing…punny….)

Laila getting her feet wet.

Hey…where’d the water go?

I can’t wait for another sunny day so I can take them again and to a less crowded place and when we can stay longer (and have a blanket and towels to sit on.)

Ah… sun.
