Family beach day

The weather was gorgeous so we decided to drive over to New Smyrna beach for the day.  Mason taught
Lyla Grace how to boogie board. Tate loved the water and didn't mind when the waves knocked him over...he kept going back for more.

 Someone had dug a huge hole in the sand and the kids played in it for hours. It was a great way to confine Tate to one place. Love spending time together as a family. These children are so precious!!!

Mason's surprise

My neighbor and I have been working in my yard all week and today we found a snake. A Florida ringneck...non poisonous. Mason is facisnated with all animals but has a special place in his heart for reptiles. So my neighbor put it in a small jar so I could save it for him when he got home from school. He was so excited to actually have a snake (he has been asking to get one for a pet lately) that he collected leaves, dirt and sticks and made a little habitat in the jar. After an hour or so we (or me) decided he better let it go knowing it wouldn't survive in the "habitat".
