Day 2 of Summer Vacation

Free State Park admission weekend here in Vermont! Against all weather forecasters' advice, Heather and I decided to move forth with our picnic-on-the-beach plans at the Sandbar.
Unbelievably, we go SO lucky with the weather- 75 degrees and very sunny!
Ed stayed home to get some chores done, so I didn't take too many pictures...I had my hands full!
We were joined by Amy and Colby with their 2 kids Ava (3.5 yrs) and Brady (16 months) as well as Jen, Art and little Evan (7 months). Amy and Jen are Heather's sisters.
Elijah and Ava:

Elijah's wondering, "Where's the lime?"

For anyone who thinks Eli is a BIG boy, here's a shot of him with Brady (who is 10 weeks YOUNGER than Elijah). And soooo cute! Just a couple of guys hanging out at the beach.

This is the best I could get of all the kids!

The bigger kids (Jackson, 8 and Ryan, 6) had fun playing in the water, while Elijah didn't go near it- we was mostly content to sit in the shade and dig in the sand (fine by me!). It was really a perfect summer day at the beach.

Hey, how am I getting your blog updates on my following list now?

Looks like you're already making the best of summer vacation. Good for you. What a great day it looks like you had. It was a beautiful day here too, but Wes took Wayne and Cole to his soccer game and they said it poured on the way home. Weird, because there was not a drop here.

Just lost my lengthy comment I typed, so will try again briefly.

So glad to see you enjoying your second day of vacation at the beach. We love seeing pictures of Elijah!

Darlene- I decided to take the Permissions off my blog so more people could have access to it without all the trouble of signing in.

Ah, finally - a photo of Elijah where I see a trace of Alexander. That last photo I see Matthew!
