Visit from Grandma/The Beach

My mom came up to visit last week for a few days. We had a great time. We didn't do much, but did go to a beach in Maine and she got to celebrate Addison's birthday with us. The kids really enjoyed the visit (and me, too!).

Owen warming up to my mom. He was pretty shy this trip. He was enjoying playing ball with my mom here...as long as she didn't get too close!

Wow- is this the picture of ornery or what??

The kids and I took my mom to a beach in Maine. It said online that the water was supposed to be warmer here than other New England beaches...not so much! This is Addison and my mom going in for the first time. If you look past them you can see Arilyn already to the waves. She doesn't care how cold the water is!

And here's my mom saying-"This water is cold!"

Arilyn running from the waves.

More playing in the waves.

My mom helping Addison jump over the waves. Look at that form- she looks like a gymnast!

and loving it!
