A short walk from their house to Lake Phalen in St. Paul provided us with a beach mostly to ourselves, some sunshine, and good old fashioned beach fun.
The girls loved having their own "moat" to splash around in, and fill with the rocks we sifted for in the lake. The water was still a bit cold, so I think having their own pool on the beach helped.
It took a bit of coaxing, especially from miss Emma, but we eventually made it.
A few more pictures from our day...
Their faces steal my heart.
Evenings with this great family, are always long overdue. We love your company Ryan and Mindy, you're always such a joy to be around, and great, great friends!
It's so fun watching friends turn into dads... and not to mention watching Jared join right in and seeing how much he loves it. They play like they're a kid all over again. Makes my heart smile.
We left the beach ready for some dinner, definitely hungry, sunned, and tired.
Got some great time in on the walk home with Mindy while we sent the stroller with the guys, catching up on life, and enjoying the beautiful evening. Summer evening walks rank right up there with the actual time at the beach for me. Thanks for a wonderful day, you guys! We love you four dearly!
We love you, too! You're such wonderful godparents. Today I pulled up your picture, and Emma said your name. Aubrey tried, too. Clearly they love you. Thank you for being such wonderful friends. We really enjoy days spent with you.
