Summer Vacation 2009!!! part 2

monday we spent more time at the beach, with jacob, who it turns out did have a broken wrist, we're still glad you could make it :) later that afternoon we headed down to see uncle mark and aunt kristi's island (sounds exclusive when i phrase it that way doesn't it?--indiatlantic if anyone's interested).




rayna's really a sand-eater, i tried unsuccessfully to convince her that the shovel was not a spoon, but she had a blast just the same :)
daddy built a fort, with a little help from his girls, though by the time we actually managed to finish it, the tide was headed out and it didn't really protect the girls from anything. it was fun to build it though, cause it really was a race against time to get that front wall up before the waves could knock it down again.

did i mention that uncle mark's got a really cool yard, i had a hard time convincing the girls to come inside. ever. this, naturally, is a picture of the rabbit house, and the ball run. (the rabbit lives under the right side, though it probably has numerous homes throughout the yard.) and the girls LOVED running after the ball again, and again, and again, and again...

did i mention that aunt kristi had some cool toys inside too? especially the mr potato heads, lots of them :)

and paul's favorite salmon dinner, it was fabulous!
