Swimming in Lake Erie - 2014

At the end of June...we were already swimming in Lake Erie :-)
We like to spend the evenings after dinner down at the beach.  We walk the breakwall, watch the boats, wave to the boaters, count the birds, jump the cracks, walk in the sand, find sea glass, jump in the waves, get wet, squish the sand between our toes, give piggy-back rides, smile, giggle, laugh, and enjoy the sunshine!

I love being on the Lake...
As does my whole family :-)

High Five

Swapping high fives are all the rage at our house.

High Five

On the Side

Down Low

Whoops... Too Slow (pull hand away so you miss the hand slap)

And... thanks to our neighbor...we have another verse...
Break the pickle (holding index fingers together and other person breaks through them)
Tickle tickle!

Except, our boys have their own version...

Tamlin:  Break the knuckle
Jude: Break the mickel

But they both love the tickle tickle part.

Slip 'N' Slide is OUT!

 It's hot.
Hot, Hot, Hot.
The ol' slip 'n' slide has been unfurled.
Best $1 spent three summers ago.
Both boys are big enough to actually slip down the slide this year :-)

 Tamlin decided he needed to fling the Frisbee down the slide and then fling himself down after it.
"GOAL!" he exclaimed when he reached the Frisbee.

Jude wants to be just like big brother, so he had to crawl after his own Frisbee :-)

 

Two wet, slightly chilled, but happy boys.
