Walker Side Beach Party

On Sunday we took my parents to our little beach in Pleasant Grove. Grandpa didnt bring a fishing pole because he (or any of us) dont have a licensee yet. But we totally plan to come back to do some fishing/swimming. Grandpa was so brave that when he got in the water he dived straight in! The water seemed even colder then last time. Caleb followed his Grandpa… just didnt put his whole head in, until Grandpa dunked him. Grandpa swam all the way out to to the rope and to the other side. We all teased him that if he didnt swim on the swimming side of the pond that the lady of the pond would attack him.

Ben took the slow and steady approach to getting in the water. He stayed in the freezing water for about an hour and slowly went deeper until the water was up to his chest. Then he swam out to the rope. I joined him a couple of times out there in the pond. One time my toe touched something icky so I climbed up on Ben and he slowly started walking out deeper! It was freezing! I got pretty cold, I think that was the last time I went in.

Grandma laid out on the beach, soaking up the sun. Occasionally she would get a hug from a wet Ciara or dirt rubbed on her, or Grandpa sprinkling her with water. I think my mom actually got some sun without burning (until she went outside at my house)

Grandpa spent lots of quality time with the kids. He built a sand castle with them. They put the frisbee on the top of the castle so that the toy elephant could sit up there. They also had a protector indian guy who watched the castle.

Grandpa tried to get Ciara in the water, he would sit down in the water and pay in the dirt and Ciara would sit in his lap. They started burying their feet and legs in the sad. I love her little giggle or high pitch squeal with delight.

When we got home Ben remembered that he has a shirt that matches his Perry hat. So he modeled it. hehe. I also painted my nails just for fun. I did it right before bed so changing Ciara smudged it but I think the message is clear enough. Woot. hehe. It was a great Walker day and a family filled weekend!
