Sun, Sand, Sea, Dean, Dylan, and a Tooth




We went to the beach today with Dean, Dylan and their Mom and it was great fun. The shore was cooler and less humid but awfully breezy, which scared off the crowds and so the boys had the ocean and the beach to themselves ---- a giant sandbox for their amusement.

They went to work immediately, building sand castles, digging holes, and burying one another. They carried gallons of water from the ocean to the sandcastles in the village they built. They were really quite industrious while K and I sat back in the chairs and enjoyed their laughter and smiles.

As the day wrapped up, JT bit into an apple and a few bites later he announced to me that he'd bit some sand and spit it out. But when I looked in his mouth, another tooth was gone. He was most excited to lose a tooth at the beach ---- literally.

He's upstairs tucked into bed. We've left the tooth fairy a very detailed note, explaining exactly what happened. With any luck, there will be some money under his pillow come the morning.

It was a good day.

Update: The Tooth Fairy reports that the going rate for your second tooth is $5.
