"To the beach!"

"We're going to the beach?  We're going to the beach!"  
This was literally repeated 50 times as we were getting our gear together one morning during spring break.  {We cannot tell Jonah we are leaving until we're ready to walk out the door or he will drive you cah-razy trying to get his shoes on or yelling for his coat for hours.}  We hadn't been to the beach in at least a year and I knew Jonah had NO idea what the beach was. 
So I asked, "Jonah, what's the beach?"
He thought for a moment and then just as estatically he replied, "Outside the door!"
This kid truly doesn't care where we're going or what we're doing, as long as he's outside.
It turned into a great morning, cold and windy, but beautiful.

The boys built log forts...

 
 
Created sandcastles...

Explored the woods...

And played in {near} the water.

I tried to recreate one on my fav Seattle pictures of Lucas...

We have always loved Richmond Beach.
