sun... beach... fun

Last week end one of the weather channels said it best: "from March to August in 2 days". Wednesday it was in the hi 50's, Friday and Saturday it was 90 degrees. Both days Baba had a synod meeting for church which we took him to early,  we came home did a little yard work before it got hot. Then I taught Guo a philosophy from my Mother: 'when the sun shines finish the majority of your work quickly and play'. That's precisely what we did:
We grabbed our books, pencils, lunch, water, the dog, beach towels, sun screen, extra clothes, etc. and headed for the beach. Who says you can't do reading, math, and spelling on the beach? We are always charting birds for science anyway. (apologies to all you desk or table/chair Moms... seriously...) [This isn't everyday, but it is variety for Guo. Remember, he only had a little over 2 years of school in China. We are now finding out  just how sporadic that was.] 
Here's a couple of the smiles I saw:
  
We are now back to our typical WA rainy May weather yesterday & today, but it's supposed to be sunny for the
long week end. 
Doesn't matter though, because as you can see we have our own ray of sunshine 24/7!!
