Our 4th of July Weekend

Knowing we had the long weekend ahead and Peter really wanting to be at the beach for the ultra low tides, it was a no brainer to head to one of the kids favorite places, great grandma's house! 

We got in pretty late so the first thing on the agenda the next morning was one of the kids favorites - sour dough pancakes! Peter used to always rave about these pancakes before I had tried them so it is fun to share one of Peter's favorite memories with the kids now!


After breakfast we had a very low key afternoon. The kids love exploring Grandma's yard, there's much to explore! 


Recently the kids have started talking about kites, so we decided to buy a couple cheap ones and test them out. After a little trial and error, they got one flying pretty good!



  



  


And the sunsets are always the best! 


The next morning the kids were out on the beach early to take advantage of the ultra low tides and seeing things they normally wouldn't see. They even got to save a fish who was caught in a pickle. They love exploring the tide pools anyhow but they had the rare opportunity to see things they've never seen before. 






 And then it was time for another yummy breakfast and some afternoon activities and visiting before it was time to head back home.




But they certainly look forward to their time at Grandma's every year!
