pancakes for allDay three was the Marathon on the beach. We had a great skype call with Mom and Dad in the morning then headed for the beach all day long. It was great fun, I promised Olivia that I would make her a sand castle that was taller than her. We both had a good time building it. Mason and I did most of the work. Once we got going it became a father and sons sand castle party. Good times. Just before leaving the beach for the night Mason and I made a jump in the sand and jumped his DI special bike into the lake. Water wasn’t quite deep enough to get the full effect but it was still fun.
Later that night Mason and I built a bow and arrow and had some fun with it. It was a hit and before your knew it all the little boys looked like Indians with their bows and arrows. Trevin raised the bar by making a Bat out of a piece of firewood and of course everyone wanted one once they saw it. What a fun time we all had. Paul was a hit with all the little chica’s he has he own little swarm that follows him around. Fun stuff for all of us.

Boy, you guys crammed a lot of fun in a few days. I’ll bet you’re tired and full of satisfaction. What a bunch of great Mons and dads. We’ll try to keep in shape for next year. Thanks for the fine blogs to share the experience. It takes a lot of energy to raise a happy family. It’s not for the faint-hearted.
