It's been in the 90s which was toasty when we were acclimated to life in LA, but is downright miserable now that we've become accustomed to Portland weather. The beach seemed a perfect way to cool off a bit.
Thea found her alternate universe self. The water was just filled with these little krill. They are hard to photograph but they were everywhere.
Do I really need to say that it was a great day? We played for hours and went home exhausted but happy.

That looks like very much fun, but what'd you work on?

Great photos - looks like you really had great fun! 90's WOW - I don't think we've had a single 90 day here in the Chicago area this year (maybe just one & just barely into the 90's) which is really unusual - but we're loving it. Had my grandsons for the weekend & took them to the zoo Saturday - it was in the high 70's & threatened rain much of the day but no more than a few drops here & there. Intermittent sun & clouds - a great day to be tromping around & looking at animals. Friday we took baby sister downtown to meet their aunt (for her first ever overnight stay without mommy or daddy or big brothers - we were all nervous but she had a great time). The lake front was quite crowded but we all had a great time at the Bean. Summer - there's nothing like it!

I totally agree. I am originally a Virginia girl, but I've become used to the Portland weather, also, so start complaining when it gets hot.
I'm planning a beach trip next weekend to help out.
