Hells Gate State Park

Today was one of those days where we slept in until 8:30 (thank you children) and did not have enough time to get ready for church. We decided to take the kids down to the beach at Hells Gate State Park and let them play in the warm weather. We had a great time with the Stutzman's and Cousin Mike and Savanah. I did take the camera, but left it in the car. I did capture a couple with my phone. The kids had a blast. And it was quite relaxing to watch them play.

This girl doesn't want anything to do with the water, but she was happy playing in the sand. Dad did try to put her swimming suit on twice. Girls swimsuits are a little more difficult. Two straps were through one arm and dad had left the room. So we just left it off. Found a nice shady beach.

Finished the night off at some friends for dinner. What a great day! Two days of work for Nate and we are off to Glacier National Park. Exciting, nerve racking, bears, oh my......

and a couple of photos from flying kites....



And last, Coop's new lunch bag came and Charlie wanted one as well. He feels big and enjoys using it to picnic out back. :)
