Beach 2015

It's our annual beach vacation.   Growing up a California girl these east coast beaches are nothing BUT the family time we get on this vacation is worth more than diamonds.  Most of the cousins spend the week playing, competing, and all around just enjoying each others company.   For us adults it's a chance to relax and laugh.  Our kids are funny!

Our Tyler became a teenager and we celebrated that with cake here ato the beach.  Doesn't seem possible that time has gone by that fast.  He is becoming such a kind hearted incredible kid!! ❤ him. 

Focus!

As we wait for the brothers and Daddy to finish watching a magic show, we wander around the library.  Mas is too scattered to enjoy the magician  (or to let others enjoy if he stays). So we find something else to do.

To my wonder Mason happens upon Duplos.  For 10 straight minutes he tried to build something.   It broke and he fixed it.  It broke again scattering pieces everywhere, he picked them up and continued to build.  He plugged on for 10 minutes not asking for help, not dissolving into tears, and not throwing a single piece.  It was so fun to watch him think.
I pray we will see this more often.
