Dirt + Sunscreen

I forgot how much I missed the smell of dirt and sunscreen. After putting the first coat on Grayer this spring I couldn't get enough of it, slobbering him with kisses so I could get a sniff. I also missed the laugh he belts out after I spray each arm or leg and the growls when it's time to do the face. 


The summer drawer has finally been opened and the shorts that have been waiting to be grown into are being warn with little pale skinny legs hanging out. The buzz cut has happened, we are ready to go! Where is the sun??


Yesterday started out pretty hot and sunny so I promised we would go have a picnic for dinner somewhere on a beach so he could 'dig'. After packing snacks and toys with a lather of sunscreen we were on our way to only hit the rain :( We didn't pack for rain, I looked in the back seat only to see a little guy who was trying to so hard to be patient holding a shovel. I couldn't break my promise.. 

What is is with boys throwing rocks into water? One after the other, trying to dig out the really bigs ones. 

He held the rock like this for the longest time, like he was trying to find exactly where he wanted it to go in the water. 

I cannot wait for all the adventures of the summer, more sunscreen, dirt and hopefully sun!
