Beach

Bennett loved our trip to Long Beach Island.

Carrying Ben up all 276 stairs at the lighthouse was Daddy's accomplishment!

Having Daddy around all day was a great start to his weekend!

Ben loved the sand but maybe next year he'll be up for swimming in the waves!


We had perfect 81 degree weather!

Ben surprised us by wanting to go by himself on this rather noisy ride.
We look forward to next year's trip to the beach! time flies so fast!

Boys will be boys

Who can resist some good, sandy mud?

And water handy to splash it up?
Who needs a boat with all of those options, anyways!!

Summer fun

Bennett is learning to enjoy more and more things in the pool. Of course, Grandpa and Grandma Sauder help. Cousins Maddie and Bailey teach him new tricks, too.
