Beach Stones 2020

 

Spelunking

We took a hike up in Charlotte the other day - 7 boys and a few adults.

We hiked up to a ridge with a beautiful summit and a cave.

The most brave of the batch entered into a narrow cave and came out at a new location up and through a tiny opening in the rocks.  Here are the boys on the way down to the cave, and climbing their way out of the cave.   it was a pretty awesome experience.

At the summit - while taking a lunch break, we were lucky enough to see an air show by 2 red tailed hawks.  Just like airplanes in an air show they were spiraling and dropping and dipping.   It was spectacular to say the least.  

 

Boatworms or Bookworms?

Who would have thought that reading on a boat could be as cozy as it is. 

Both boys are reading The Hunger Games - Book 1 and Book 3. 

WATER

For the third year in a row we have entered art as a family in a themed art show at a local cafe.  This year's theme was WATER.  Though we made these paintings months ago (before we even thought of getting our sailboat,) the theme could not be more fitting or perfect for 2020.  This year we used watercolor and chalk to create our quadriptych.
