Fort Bragg

We went to Fort Bragg and had a great time! Uncle Roah, Aunt Michele and cousins Maycie and Roah came, too! The cousins had lots of fun playing together.

We went to Ten Mile Beach. The sand was perfect for making a sand castle. We all worked on the castle together. Actually, it was more like a mountain with a moat around it... Young Roah even built a bridge across the moat.

Sam got buried in sand up to his waist by Daddy, Maycie and Sydney.This is what Sam looked like by the end of our time at the beach. This picture only shows his face...notice that there is a fine dusting of sand everywhere! Well, the rest of his body looked exactly the same...and I mean every part of his body! It took lots of soap and an outdoor shower to get it off and even then, we kept finding it in strange places for the next few days. Maycie, Sam and Sydney watched Dora the Explorer on Daddy's laptop one morning. Notice that Sam has his hand on Maycie's knee...I thought that was so cute. Daddy and Sam, standing on the bluff, looking out at the "o-hen" (aka ocean).Sydney had lots of fun exploring everywhere. She especially loved any pile of dirt or interesting rock she could find. Notice that her upper lip looks a little funny...this was actually two days after she took the phrase, "hit the deck" to a whole new level. Michele and I went to the grocery store on Friday and when we came back, Sydney had a very fat lip, skin missing and dried blood on her face and clothes. No one actually saw what happened, but it had something to do with a skateboard and Syd landing on the deck, face first...Sam had lots of fun throwing rocks into the ocean...well ok, towards the ocean.You may have noticed that there are more pictures of Sam than Sydney on this post. Well, that's because every time she saw the camera pointed at her, she did this...it looks a little more like a grimace than a smile, but at least she tries!
