"Growth" Spurt

Oh my! Look how much I've "grown"!!!

My squirrels are having way too much fun with the camera.  However, with a house full of girls, this act is bound to happen sooner or later!

Short Shots of Squirrels

Our squirrels are quite a bit taller than the average child. That is what makes these "Short Shots" so much fun!! You Squirrels are so cool!

Stinky Beach!

It was a perfect day, around 80 degrees! So after a brief visit to the Poe-dunk library, the squirrels thought it would be a great idea to play on the playground that's next to the water.



I think it was a coverup for what they REALLY wanted to do: Play on the "Stinky Beach"!!

So being the extremely nice & encredibly awesome mom that I am (wink wink!), I agreed. It really was a gorgeous day!
[I have no idea why all of this part is underlined & doing everything I don't want it to do. GRRR!]





They went straight to the rocks & water! They love to look for sea shells & peek under the rocks for small crabs.


It's not the best water for wading. It's full of gross, smelly green stuff. But the squirrels don't care!



Look!! Found some tiny crabs! This is a black one that Munchy & some of her friends found.
This small, light brown one is a "side walker". Ha-ha-ha, they tickle!





Bri found the shell with barnacles on the inside of it. That black crab probably feels right at home.









A common find is crab carcasses. The seagulls love to pick out their innards & leave the rest for my girls to play with. Even their friends enjoyed playing with them!




















Bri found the carcass of a Spider Crab! Sooo cool!













If the squirrels are lucky, they can find a sand dollar or two!





We saw a lot of our friends at the beach. It was a great day for everyone to be out enjoying the sunshine! A fantastic day to make a great memory!
