The day after I returned from Ladies Weekend was an extraordinarily warm day. We decided to take it off from classroom activities to do some hands-on learning and family bonding at the beach.

Never too young to learn. Dad found the perfect stick to practice the kids' swing as they slammed rocks into the water.
A little math, science, and physical fitness going on here. The boys predicted that when they poured the water in to the pit, it would fill up. They were surprised and a little disappointed when instead the water sunk below and they had to return to the beach to refill their bucket.

It was a perfect day with our family in the sun. We came home and barbecued while the children played in the yard. They were dirty and tuckered out by bath/bed time. I am so glad we have the flexibility to take our kiddos to the beach during the day and not have to wait for the school bus to drop them off before we can begin our adventures.

I really enjoy seeing pictures of your family at the beach together ... especially when Dad has the day off too! Looks so relaxing!
I also appreciate your faithfulness, Jen, at homeschooling. The children are learning so much more than they would be in a schoolroom. Ken and I never know what we'll hear when we ask one of them, "What did you learn today?" (They often teach us something new to us!)
Love,

How fun! I love going to Alki... it is one of my favorite places in seattle. It looks like you had a great day in the sun.
