Fun in the sand

This weekend started with an extended period Saturday morning of hanging out in the sandbox. Sam made "apple racers"--slides for little green apples from our tree to roll down. See the movie below for a full two-minute tour! (Movie may take some time to load.) (Sorry for all the movement--I'll hold still next time.)

Saturday we also took a trip the the Sodus Point lighthouse and museum, about 45 minutes away. Aside from my forgetting one of Susan's shoes, we had a great time!

I've lived in Rochester for over 20 years but never spent much time at the beach. This area has many little treasures like this.

It was quite pleasant, and the weather perfect (if a little warm). Sam had a whale of a time racing up and down and splashing in the water. We also toured the lighthouse museum, while outside the lighthouse a group was preparing for a summer wedding.

This week Sam was at vacation Bible school at church. He could not possibly have had more fun. They sent home a CD music (verses set to words, but really well done), and Sam listens to it continually. He asked Susan yesterday when VBS happens again.
Tomorrow morning I fly off to California for the week, so it was nice to get lots of family time.
