Hiking

 When asked what we should do today, Case asked to hike.  So we took him to a terrific isolated beach we explored while he was in school last week.

 He was quite pleasant for the hike.  Walking to and from school every day has made him way less of a complainer.  It helps that the path is astoundingly beautiful too.  I have taken SO MANY photos of the water there, trying to capture the exquisite gradient of the ocean.  When I finally get it right I'll print it 5 feet tall.

 Then he hunkered down in the rocks like a little troll and watched the soap opera lives of the inhabitants of a tide pool. 

 Beach baby had a lovely time as well, splashing in the water and rolling in the sand. 

She made herself comfortable for a little rest.

Then went back to throwing rocks in the water.

The kids eventually got tired, so we hiked back to the car where they both fell asleep on the ride home.

Good times.
