Beaching it Colorado Style

We spent Sunday at Boyd Lake in Loveland with our friends the Haleys, Gahns and Andrews. They all have kids roughly James and Mac's ages which makes things a lot of fun for everyone. The set up of the lake is pretty perfect, there is a swimming beach right next to a big grassy area, a playground and restrooms. The Andrews have a boat, so everyone got to take turns going out for rides. When they weren't boating, the big kids spent the day digging in the sand only taking a few forced breaks for some shade.
 Colin, James, John and Riley.
 Our shaded compound full of babies, beer and food. (I spy 4 babies in this photo and 2 big kids)
 Cheetos, Doritos and watermelon=perfect lake food.


 Mac and his buddy Cam. They have to be best friends because their names spell each other's backwards.
 After hours spent playing in the sun, James came home and crashed hard. Mac did too, (crosses fingers and knocks on wood) he slept through the night for the first time ever!!!!! Woohooo, go Macky! Keep it up little man! I am sure I have thoroughly jinxed myself by writing it down, but James took 18 months to sleep through the night for the first time. Mac cut that in half, so it is well worth documenting :-)

Way to go, Mac! That sounds heavenly, hopefully Gus will follow his lead very soon. Your beach trip looks like a lot of fun!

OMG James looks grown-up. I just stumbled across videos from Alec's 2nd bday, and you would die at how teeny he and James look. Tear.
