Weekend Trip/Presque Isle

We spent this last weekend down at Presque Isle.  It is a peninsula, with sandy beaches all the way around, in Lake Erie.  The boys were in heaven all day long.  Even if there were some annoying rules that we didn't understand.  It was a totally FUN, RELAXING, and  EASY GOING day spent at the beach. 
 

We played in the sand.  Built sand castles.  Turtles.  Pirate ships.  Thomas kept calling everyone his matey.  He was always in charge and was great and telling what to do and what not to do. We even buried each other.  I tired to make Daniel into a mermaid... but you can't really tell in the picture.  Lewis hated being buried, but spent most of his time throwing sand on his head with his shovel anyway.  

We ate lots of good food.

We swam and swam and swam.  Thomas learned to "swim" this last week and was in heaven.  He goes underwater and kicks his little feet and paddles his hands and everything.  It is legit.  He is so proud and only wants to go swimming now.  He asks me every 10 seconds when we get to go to the pool again.
