staying busy

The boys and I have been trying to stay busy while Cory is in Florida. Today we took a trip to the beach. I didn't realize how a simple visit to the beach could turn into such a nature lesson...we found lots of ladybugs and Sam was particularly fascinated by these two...he was very curious as to what they were doing...

I wasn't too sure how to answer that question. Luckily he is only 3 1/2 and it doesn't take much to distract him!

After the beach we spent the rest of the afternoon playing the backyard. The boys just love to be outside.
