Another Day at “Our” Beach

The kids and I had to do “one more thing” at the cabin (no, we still don’t own it--maybe next week??) today so my friend and her two sons came to the island with us for an Adventure. 

This was Wes’s first time on the rope swing here.  He loved it, of course.


The rope swing entertained all five kids for about an hour before Mama Denise forbade my children from touching it again until they can figure out how to use it without knocking each other over. (“Children, it’s like a car.  A driver is in charge of looking out for pedestrians and NOT HITTING THEM.  You are the driver of this rope swing.  Oops, your driving privileges are suspended.”)
This girl upped the ante and climbed up here to start her swing.


Hard to take a bad picture of Pipes.


After being cheated the first few times we’ve come down to the beach when I had him in a sling, Wesley was going to climb up the rope over the cliff by himself.  If I helped him, he would slide down to start all over.  He did it, of course, but will he ever embrace the easy way?
