Sunshine and Sea Breezes

We took our first 2019 warm weather trip to the beach a few weeks back and the boys has a blast! We did have to be careful of the many jellyfish that had washed ashore with the tide.  Jackson did great just looking with his eyes, but we did have to run down Judah a few times who was just so curious!  Luckily, no one got stung.  

This is the first time Judah has really been able to "play" in the sand and he is really starting to develop the coordination needed to use a shovel and bucket.  Jackson turned the sand into a giant construction site, of course.  

This ball was just light enough that it would catch the breeze and roll across the sand on it's own.  Judah chased it for a good hour up and down the beach!

Daddy buried Jackson in the sand

ArtFields

We were so impressed by an annual week-long art festival about 40 minutes from our house called ArtFields!  There are pop up galleries all over their cute downtown, abandoned spaces, shops and restaurants.  We had a blast exploring for hours, but we had a few family favorites! 

This sheep sculpture was made from thousands of spark plugs.

This particular mural took the cake for us!  Not only was it beautifully painted and detailed, but the artist had incorporated about 24 hidden pictures to find if you look closely enough.  Jackson had so much fun finding cars, animals and all sorts of fun details.
