We spent this morning watching Aaron finish our brick walkway... and start on extending the patio. Chase loaded up bricks, Henri swept sand into the cracks and Claire helped put the "fence" back up to keep the 
chickens out of the flower garden.
After lunch, we packed up the boat and went to the beach. The boat ride was an event... Henri freaked out! I was reminded of our flight to St. Louis in March. "It's not fun. Wanna get out of here." he cried. Chase and Claire, on the other hand, were loving every second of the ride! Once we got to the beach, Henri was still a little worked up... but then we took a walk to look for seashells. We ended up where the marsh comes in and the tide was SO low... there were hundreds... thousands of snails AND hermit crabs in shells the size of my hand. Chase caught a minnow... he was so pumped!! We built a small sand castle, but mainly the kids swam. It was a little (ok, a lot) cold for us, so we just watched!
