How I Grew Up...

This is how I grew up...

 

Toes in the water, butt in the sand. Not a worry in the world, a cold pop in my hand. Life is good today. I think Zac Brown Band said it similar to that.

 

I grew up in the lake. We would walk down a few houses to our neighborhood beach, take our boat out. Living in the land of 10,000 lakes it seemed normal to spend any and every summer day at the beach. I love lake life. I love sitting on a boat, soaking up the sun, tubing, skiing, digging in the sand.

Although we have become more of a pool family, I still have a special place in my heart for lakes so it was really fun to get to share it with my kids the other day.

I think they enjoyed the change of scenery (and the pool is closed already!) and who doesn't like sand in their suit?

Poor Jett was a little miserable for a while because his mother got sunscreen in his eyes...

 Myla was the only on who wanted to be buried in the sand. She's such a good sport! 

 Her brothers thoroughly enjoyed covering her with sand!

 It was fun digger rivers and building castles and just keeping cool on a hot day!

 Titan enjoying splashing in the sandy water. These children of mine are not afraid of a little dirt!

 Quinton loves anything having to do with water!

I always love family days and this was a memorable one splashing in the water and playing in the sand. Making the most of the last days of summer. Time flies, don't blink. I love these moments!
