A busy weekend

Summer sure is flying by! I cannot believe its already Aug. 18th, and that its been 3 weeks since I've done a blog post! So, three weekends ago, Eric came down here and we made the most of our weekend. We got stuff done around the house, Leyton got in a lot of much needed Dad time going for bike rides and at the baseball diamond, and on Saturday we headed to Milwaukee for a day at Bradford Beach, some outlet shopping and a good meal at the Cheesecake factory. Here are a few photos from the weekend:
2 boys really excited to be at the beach!
It was a real struggle to keep Cal from eating sand, which I knew it would be from our trips to the cabin this year. So while Eric and Leyton had a blast in the water, Cal and I played a game of Cal grabs handfuls of sand with both hands, while I try as fast as I can to grab one hand and get the sand out. While I'm doing that he tries to stuff the other handful of sand into his mouth as fast as he can. Cal gets made at me for trying to dig sand out of his mouth, repeat. Needless to say I didn't get too many pictures. When he wasn't eating sand he did love splashing in the water. He has no problem splashing water in his own face over and over again, and thinks its quite funny!
A view of the beach: When we go out to eat now Cal gets to sit in the high chairs and is always pretty happy about it! I think he feels like a big boy...After the day at the beach Leyton fell asleep on the way to eat. He stayed asleep while I carried him in, and slept for about the first 1/2 hour we were there in the booth. He woke up right when the food arrived- perfect timing. (Ignore the shorts pulled up so high- it was just from me carrying him in!)Leyton was pretty excited to ride Pumbaa at the outlets...Getting ready for a bike ride back home. Don't worry, he always wears his helmet, and shortly after I took this picture he got out and ran down the driveway to get it from the garage...This is what happened next... Our driveway is pretty steep, and it always makes me cringe how fast he gets running down it. This was the first time he totally wiped out, leaving a really skinned up knee and a hole in the hand, ugh. The Toy Story band aids cheered him right up though.
