We spent the weekend in Bear Lake with my mom. The moment we arrived we headed down to the beach. The boys built sandcastles and Lucy ate sand. On Sunday, we went to the bird refuge in Paris, Idaho that is. We saw sandhill crane, geese, ducks, egrets, great blue 
herons, ibis and a first for us, baby coot. (We're birders, alright!) Monday brought a 7 mile bike ride. Charlie completed the entire trip himself. However, he did cry for the last 1/2 mile. At the halfway point we stopped to refuel with some treats in Garden City. After the bike tour we went swimming to cool down. Then the boys went golfing with Nana and Justin. Elliot said that 
Nana's ball was like a magnet for the sand. (That can't be good)

found the arcade. The lowerlight . . . the arcade has a hunting game with a hillbilly accent. Good thing the Lyon parentals own a laundromat! We'll be needing lots of quarters for our next trip to Ideal Beach.

Poor Charlie, he is a trooper. Seriously, how many 3 year olds could bike 7 miles? You guys need to figure out how to pack their bikes or scooters for DC. That will make all the walking a lot easier...and a lot more fun too!
