First beach day of the year!

Aaaah March! How I've missed you! We had such a glorious day today that we took advantage and headed to Seaside. It was warm, sunny, windless and wonderful.

Alex and Seth are pretty much making the same face. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree?

Sand flinging was the goal of the day

I have no idea what we're looking at

Paul and Kris were out on a drive and surprised us at the beach. Alex was happy to have Miss Kwis

"Garbage Can" aka Oscar

On Sunday we headed out to the Erickson farm after church to see Daisy's calf. A sweet little baby it is. Mr. Paul told Alex he could pick a name for the calf. I thought he'd come up with something like Sam, George or Elmo, but no...he calls it Garbage Can. We tried to compromise on Oscar because he lives in a garbage can, but to Alex he is just Garbage Can. The calf's official name is Oscar. Here are a few pictures.
