happy birthday dan

today is dan's birthday! we had a little party for him this past weekend but our camera wasn't cooperating so we didn't get any pictures to turn out. i took the kids to goodwill and let them pick some gifts for dan. they had so much fun and it was nice to let them pick pretty much whatever they wanted. logan got dan a water bottle shaped like a bowling pin with his name on it and a monster truck poster. allison got him a snow globe with a bunny in it and a little happy birthday cat figurine-just what he wanted! they were so proud of their gifts and although more fun than serious, i know dan appreciated them. 

we love you dan--happy birthday!

rocky point

we had such a nice time in rocky point this year. logan and allison are at the perfect age to entertain themselves and play with other kids but still come and check in with us and stay close by. they had so much fun playing on the beach, building sand castles, playing with their cousins, and swimming in the water. we might even go as far as saying it was a relaxing time!

all i have to say about logan is that he is awesome. he is totally fearless and entered that water ready to surf the waves. once he got the hang of it he did not want to get out. he surfed those waves so much that he broke his brand new boogie board in half!

walking out to the water to test the waves.

 get ready...

go!

and ride it in....dan is such an awesome dad. he went and rode the waves with logan and taught him how to do it. by the end of the trip logan was going out and riding the waves all by himself. 

and who could resist a little snuggle time with dad!

we had so much fun and can't wait to go back in october!
