the sand castles
there is a lot of engineering involved in making sand castles.
sandcastle game
the first picture is Alexander checking the instructions for Sandcastle Game. The second is him putting sand in the bucket to make the castle. This game involved water and its transportation (requiring a hose and faucet) as well as moving sand around to multiple places. Good thing we had instructions!
the book
searching for just the right book.
chalk
Alexander convinced Grandpa to draw some animals in chalk for him. You can see them surveying their work and adding new awesome animals.

Cherry Picking!
This past weekend we went to Villa Del Sol Sweet Cherry Farms in Leona Valley, CA (by Palmdale) to pick cherries for the first time with Alexander! Grandpa came with us and Rebecca and parents and Baby Nicholas and parents joined us too! Alexander and Rebecca had the best time picking cherries, eating cherries, and playing in the dirt. Mommy hopes this becomes a family tradition for us. We made cherry muffins tonight and prepared the dough for cherry pie later this week! EXCITED!!
