Whitney building her tent

Whitney in the tent she made.  No assistance necessary, including dragging all the cushions off the couch

Whitney asked for this picture, but I forgot why.

The other view of her tent she made unassisted

"This is the life"  Whitney singing while playing in the warm sand Labor Day weekend.

Tucker eating lunch with Daddy.  It was still cold after the fog just burned off

More eating lunch

The view from the beach on Labor Day weekend.  These logs made a great see-saw that we played on together as a family a bit later

Whitney found a "whitney puddle" that she was ready to get into and play in, even though it was cold.

Tucker still eating and watching Whitney play in the water and boats going by, identifying them by color

In the drift wood tee-pee at the beach Labor Day weekend.

Tucker loved this seaweed salad we tried on the way home from the beach Labor Day weekend

playing Tucker doggy in and out of the driftwood teepee

Whitney making "jamberries"  She was actually pretty good at staying focused and keeping everything in the pot and not on her.  I seriously need to make her an apron.

Whitney making her favorite kind of bread with Daddy.

Bouldering at the side of the river mid September.  They did just fine walking around in all these rocks and throwing the big ones in the river

Tucker carrying his rock to the river to chuck it in.

Whitney eating something yummy Daddy gave her on our weekend trip over the moutain

The weekend after Labor Day was still nice weather, but we wanted to feel some real summer heat, so we went sun searching.  When we got there, the babies were a bit overheated for what they are used to and driving in a hot car.  Taking a rest in the shade before getting on with the sun activities.

Sharing ice cream with Daddy

Sharing ice cream with Daddy

There was a band playing music in the park.  Tucker was fascinated, listening for about 10 minutes straight with rapt attention

Whitney finishing the last of the ice cream cone in a very cute position

There were tons of these petunias cascading from window boxes and hanging pots all over this cutesy town.  I couldn't get over the color

Tucker running out of the river

Whitney made a sand cake and cut it in half to share with us

Tucker doggy going through the tunnel

There were several fires that had been burning for a few days to a month surrounding the town we were in.  Made for some pretty backdrop at times

Splashing in the river in the late afternoon sun

Holding hands going up our stairs

"Look, Ma!  No stool!"  Tucker can climb up easily on the counter.  He's filling up his water bottle without help.
