We had so much fun at the beach Labor Day weekend that I thought we'd take a look back. The weather was perfect and we spent most of our time outside--Dad organized a family bocce ball tournament which he then handily swept.

| Ready! |
 |
| The gear, ready for action |
 |
| Rhonda, Alex, and Ole playing in the ditch. See the minion perched on the mole hill? Even Legos got involved in the bocce game. |
 |
| Nice form, Dad! |
 |
| The award ceremony. Ole grins with his trophy. |
We really soaked up the sun at the beach. It was busier than usual because of the holiday, but we staked out a good spot for kite flying. It was Josh's first time!
Then we hit up a nearby beach, a short drive from our usual spot, and enjoyed the long flat coastline, the surfers, the driftwood shanty town, and tide pools.
Back at home, more sunflowers!
 |
| So tall! |
 |
| Ole heads into the towering sunflower forest. |
 |
| Our kitty, Maeve, keeps an eye on the hummingbird feeder. |
 |
| A fun surprise in the chicken tractor...4 baby chicks! |
