Beach and Boardwalk

We had a great time last Saturday with our good friends, and I'm finally getting around to posting the pictures.
First we joined them at the beach. The weather was little iffy, but that didn't stop the kids from having a blast in the sand. Lisa and I covered with towels to keep the occasional raindrops off. Bryan and Ryan - of course - played like only grown men can do at the beach. The sun peeked out for a short while. We were glad to have a house to go back to. Showers, warm clothes, and a nap for Lila were a must for the boardwalk that night.

They all worked together on a sand city for quite some time.

Apparently, Mr. Bryan has had much practice at mermaid sculpting.

We went to the boardwalk after everyone was clean and had had some down time. Emma and Hailey wanted to go on every ride there, and we saved ourselves some tickets because they could ride together and Ryan or I didn't need to go. Ben was very frustrated that he still wasn't tall enough for some rides, but he had fun with his buddy, Lila. Lila could care less about rides - she's all about the food! She did want to go on the Dragon ride (you spin inside the dragon). Ryan and I took her on. Ryan was trying to make conversation and told her we were in the dragon's stomach. She looked at him all serious and said, "You're kidding me, right?" She's very unsure and nervous about rides, unlike Emma, who's not afraid of anything.
We were thrilled that it wasn't too crowded considering it was a holiday weekend. After some rides, we ate our way down the boards. Bryan commented that it's good to have friends that like to eat as much as they do - Amen! Thanks for a great day, guys.


Inside the dragon's stomach (don't tell Lila!)

Happiest girl on the boardwalk - by far!

We had to wait a minute to take this picture - until Lila's face had returned to a normal color. She wasn't all about this kiddy roller coaster. Click on the picture to see her expression.
