Emmy and her friends had a ball being outside (despite the plague of mosquitoes!) digging in the sand and splashing in the water!
They all got pretty into building and excavating...
So much so, that when we left Joel was without shoes... Summer had decided to bury them and all the kids chipped in to help...
...A little TOO well, which is why we spent 20 minutes searching when it was time to leave. Chloe remembered the approximate vicinity, but one was buried so well we almost gave up.
Does this smile look strained?? He's actually very good natured. Joel was finally the proud re-owner of his prized Brazilian flip flops. (He swears they really are superior.) It was a funny end to a really fun day ;)
