magic

the beach is magical. we take a rowdy boy to the beach, run him around at ward camp in the morning, aunty rachel's birthday celebration all afternoon and about 20 otter pops (this is not an exaggeration, i have several witnesses) later we get this:
and this boy was all tuckered out too, but what's new? honestly:

and our little camp site is pretty hilarious:

simply because all the other ones look like this:

"why we gotta be so haole all the time??" i asked thomas. :) oh well, it's a good size for us- especially since we are only there during the day. i came to my senses... spending the night in a small tent with a two year old and a two week old... crazy. maybe next year!

anyway, the beach is magic. amby is so much more well behaved and happy in the great outdoors and so much easier to handle at bed and nap time. magic.
