Beach Week

We spent the third week in June down at Garden City with my family and had a great time. Walt and Emmie love getting some special time with Nanna and Papa. And this year my dad rescued Tucker from a week at the kennel giving him an invite to the beach. Amazingly he was such a good boy, that he may get invited again. Walt and Emmie both loved jumping in the waves. Walt especially loved doing it with his daddy and Papa. He told me several times that I'm not big and strong enough to jump the waves, only Daddy, Papa, and Walt were. Before Boyd left on Wednesday, he gave me a quick tutorial on engineering a hole in the sand to create the perfect pool for the kids to play in. I think Dad and I succeeded in building sufficient pools. Nanna and Papa also brought a kiddy pool for swimming after the beach. Walt practiced all of his swimming moves that he had just learned and Emmie immediately repeated what she saw him do. I believe Emmie's motto in life is, "If he can do it, so can I!" And what would a trip to Garden City be without a trip to a Wings and the arcade? I tell ya', it's amazing no one gets hurt and nothing gets broken when Walt and Emmie play Skee-Ball, but they have so much fun. We are all looking forward to put-put and the rides next year.

Hey! Where's my breakfast? I'm waiting patiently.

Walt LOVES the sand he likes to dive into Boyd's holes.
