...in Holland MI in the summer. Yesterday Jared took the morning off and came with us to the beach.  We usually go in the morning and have an enormous beautiful beach nearly to ourselves. The kids and Jared had a lot of fun building sand castles.  The kids' favorite part was kinking and bulldozing the sandcastles.  This was the biggest one that they built before the demo team took over.  Win fetched water and Harriet stirred the sand.  Jared packed the buckets and flipped them.  They had a perfect little assembly line going.It was hard to see the back of my point and shoot camera in the glaring sun.  I managed to include a shadow of myself in this photo.  Since you can see my belly, I like to think of it as a family photo oft he 5 of us.We also found a mermaid and a merman washed up on the beach.
