Our trip to the beach....kinda





Our home is walking distance from a river. The rains came down and the river came up so we decided to pack a picnic lunch and spend the day playing on the sandy shores...of the Rio!
Alex took sand building very seriously and wanted to compete with anyone who was willing.



Ada loved the taste of our muddy sand and always had a mouth full.



It was very relaxing to just lay down and enjoy the beautiful weather while my kids played.



Tori even ran into some school friends who had the same idea as us.



Alex was the first to jump into the water. The current was very strong and swept her off her feet. 
I didn't let anyone else wade any further than the banks.



Benton thought the sand was for throwing.
He also thought the sand castles, that Alex worked so hard on, were for smashing.
He spent a lot of time sitting in the car. Rough day for Benton.



Ada loved standing and trying to walk. Falling down wasn't so bad in the soft sand.
It was a fun day at the RIO.

How cute. I still am in denial about Ada being able to walk. She's so cute. Love Alex's swimsuit.
