The Sea

The kids all found hidey holes around the beach and popped in and out like prairie dogs

Bryn set up a bakery. Her goods are the finest (well, hardest)  around, and may have helped Ivy in her tooth-losing venture if she had given them a chance.

Cece by the sea

Calvin clings for dear life on a sea cliff

See him clinging?!?

We could almost pretend it was warm

Perhaps a balmy 80 degrees!

Just kidding. It was cold.

But still a lovely view, especially from a swing.

Ivy's First Lost Tooth

Bryn convinced Ivy to let Marcus pull her VERY loose tooth. So she did, and he did, and now Ivy gets her very first tooth fairy visit tonight.

Bryn's 11th Birthday Bash

Bryn had 10 of her friends over for a birthday bash. I think an army of howler monkeys are quieter than a small house full of that many tweens, but they're so fun. Activities included Minute to Win It games (cookie race, m&m drop, shake your booty, cotton ball nose vaseline transfer, and mad dog), Mafia, Reader's Theater plays, Never Have I Ever, and "decorate your own cupcake."
