Gone Fishin'

Uncle Whit and Aunt Sharon took us fishing off their boat.  They got us real fishing rods, perfectly sized for little kids.  Then we went to a cool fishing spot, and look what Kacia caught!

Anakai hollers, "Hooray for Kacia!"  High 5 sister!

 

"Kacia, I'm so proud of you."

(Awwww!!)

"Oh my goodness!  I can't believe I caught a fish too!" says Anakai.

"One fish"

OOooohhh!!

Look how many I caught!

"Two fish"

Hold down the pointy spine...

Anakai can't believe any of it.

What an amazing first time fishing experience!

After we posed with all the fish, we threw them all back in their ocean home so they can grow even bigger.  This is a day we'll never ever forget, thanks to Gra Su's awesome pictures.

Ice Cream

To The Sea

Sprinkled with salt.

Embraced by the wind...

Lulled by the sea.

Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied.'

We're back from vacation!  The twinkies spent the month of July with Gra Su & Grand Den doing all sorts of fun things.  The next few blog posts will be a re-cap of their time together through Gra Su's awesome photos.  Here they are splashing about on the mighty Hudson River.

Seaside Heights

That's right. New Jersey.


Salutations to the sea!


We decided to head for the Jersey Shore (joy-zee show-ah) for an impromptu pre-summer family get-away.


It is there they discovered the joyz of beach toys.


And just how much fun it is to climb the lifeguard chair.


The sun kept hiding behind clouds.


Kacia kept hiding behind the big lifeguard chair.


Kacia :)


Anakai :)


The cool beach breezes barely reached 70 degrees.


But nothing can stop Kacia from kissing papa.


All done with the breezy beach.


Lets run on the empty boardwalk.


Then jump in the heated pool




Anakai loves being in the water.


Kiddie rides too?


Woohoo!




AND Ice cream?! Dis place is da best!


A flock of seagirls. I mean seagulls.
