Yesterday, John got off the bus and we got in the car and headed to Grandma’s house. Then Grandma, John, Justin and I went to the beach. The boys talked about John’s camp on our way to the beach. It constantly amazes me how well they get along. Justin is 11 and John is almost 7. The boys found the perfect spot on the beach and they headed right to the water. Justin was on his boogie board while John simply played in the waves.
After playing in the water, John asked Grandma to help him build a castle. Well that turned into Grandma building the castle while John filled buckets with water. Grandma finished the castle and John dug a moat around it. He then tried to fill the moat with water from his buckets.
They destroyed the castle, actually Justin did. But then he dug a really big hole. He may have gotten stuck.
Justin got out of the hole and John got a chance to test it out too!
Then Justin asked “Can we go up to Gee-Gee’s and get ice cream? I’ll buy!” It’s hard to say no to that. So they went up and got some ice cream. John got mint chocolate chip with rainbow sprinkles and Justin got chocolate brownie with chocolate sprinkles. Poor John, his ice cream was melting faster than he could eat it. And he kept spilling it on himself.
After making a mess with the ice cream the boys went back in the ocean to clean off. They spent the rest of the afternoon playing in the ocean.
John had a great day with his cousin and his Grandma. I also had a great time hanging out with my mom, my nephew and celebrating John’s last day of school!
