Kevin's perfect throw to Dad:
More frisbee fun:
We recently purchased an orange "bucket" to carry our beach toys in and after many attempts to dig a hole and fill it with water, we figured out that if we bury our beach bucket... we can fill it with water and it makes a perfect place for floating our boat!
The famous orange beach toy bucket:
We wanted to bring our kite but it needs a few repairs right now... we did see some others flying kites at the beach though and the kids loved that... especially the Sponge Bob kite! The family next to us had a really cool rainbow kite and they rigged it up so that their kids could fly it too. At one point, however, one of their kids let go of their kite and it took off... In a stroke of genius, Ed hopped up and chased the kite and caught it in record time before it took off over the ocean. Everyone cheered! Ed saved the day! (Too bad we didn't have the camcorder at the ready!) It was pretty cool and the family was very grateful to have their kite back. Saving kites works up a pretty big appetite so we headed up to the picnic benches to have lunch.
After lunch, we went on the carousel ride courtesy of Eddie who paid for everyone with his own money since Mom and Dad were out of cash. The kids had a great time on the "horsie ride"... after that, we had a little more beach time before we headed home.
We made many sand castles which Ryan enjoyed kicking down... so while everyone was playing frisbee, Mom made a giant fish in the sand... and then we took a picture of it before the kids knocked it down.

Mom's Cool Fish:
You couldn't ask for a better day! Kevin and Ryan fell asleep in the car at 4:15 on the way home and didn't wake up til 6:30 this morning... going to the beach sure is tiring work! That was probably our last family beach since fall is practically here! It sure was fun though!
A perfect end to a perfect day:
