We went to the Chyrsler Art Museum to see the new Eric Carle exhibit.  Before we watched the glass artists make a mermaid jumping into the sea.

I had to talk these kids into going to Harborfest with me this year (I know right? Mermaids! Pirates!) but when I eventually got them in the car we all had a great time.  Not only did we see mermaids and pirates, we saw the Coast Guard rescue people from the harbor and went on every single tall ship in anchor.  They even got to pull up the sails.  The kids loved it!

It is already feeling like summer though it’s weeks away with 90-100 degree days.  These two enjoyed a cool watermelon snack from the farmers market and then we make two kinds of muffins for dinner.

I took my beach babes to Sandbridge today for a perfect beach day.  They were amazing carrying their own chairs and a bag each (we took two trips because I had to carry the popup (50lb) and then the cooler (40lb).  Once we were all set up we had a great time mostly jumping in the waves but we also went for a walk, built several sand cities, had snacks and lunch, and buried the kiddos.  We arrived at 10am and left at 5pm.  I treated them to an ice cream cone on the way home because they were so great and we all had such a wonderful day.  I cannot wait for many more days like this.
