Taaaaag Sale!!

We had our second annual Mesa Multi-Family yard sale extravaganza last Saturday. Really, it's just a bunch of us that live around here that get together and try to make money off all our old crap. Last time was quite the success! This time was less so, but we still had fun. And I'm still craving those cinnamon rolls and bread that Jack Earnshaw made to sell! Can you believe he stayed up until like 2 in the morning (or was it 4?) making bread to sell?? It was awesome. Too bad not many people showed up and when they finally did we were already cleaning up! We still made some cash and got rid of junk so it worked out.

Afterward we went to the beach with everyone! It was sooo fun!! I can't wait until the summer when we can do this even more. It was such a great day, really warm (like 80 something) and we had a blast with our friends.







Lia had a great time! She loves the beach as much as Max did when he was her age. She loved the sand and the sun and the water, too. As cold as it was she was pretty happy in it. Never fussed at all! She even got some surfing time in with her dad.




Can you see those leg rolls? Priceless.



And Max still loves the beach, too. He mostly loves the sand now though. He sat there and dug and built sand castles FOREVER. He even did them all by himself! When it came to the water and waves though, he was really freaked out. Last summer this kid would just walk right into the water, no fear at all! This summer he runs away screaming and crying and won't let the water touch him. Tyler convinced him a few times to let him take him out on the boogie board and into the water if he was carrying him. But other than that, he was freaked out. I'm hoping the more he goes the less scared he'll be. He says, "The waves are scary and they knock me over and hit me!" Let's hope he gets over it.






The whole gang getting some sun.


Max playing with his favorite Baker girls.


Sienna was the only one who got him to play in the waves by holding his hand and jumping over them. Until he got one in the face and that ended that game.


This day at the beach reinforced the fact that I will never be able to move away from the ocean!
