The weather has finally found some summer, so we made a morning run down the street for the beach last weekend. It wasn’t Maggie’s first time there, but it was her first truly participatory visit. I think she liked it.
First a turn at the playground
The view above

banana break
Becoming one with the sand (sometimes literally)
mud throws
lessons in castle-making
retreat
and a new lens make! :) (I had to point to that old pic because it was taken at the exact same spot nearly two years ago!)
Some great and otherwise amusing shots from playing in the park with my new camera lens:
Zo up and at ‘em
Moo on the move
big sister – always happy to push you around (kung fu style even!)…
and always there to catch you :)
Every third Sunday in July, the Coffield contingent gathers in Battleground, WA for its annual family reunion. We joined in this year, taking in a visit with Dave’s Grandparents and mom, in town from CO. A few shots of the festivities:
Brothers Alonzo, Uncle Dale, washer boards
apple of my eye
snuggles and stories, Auntie Tammy
nose tickler, Uncle Brian
Pig pile!, Cameron and Critter book
cool with Katie (Grandma’s new puppy)
Dave’s fam…and Dave!
Lovin’ her big cous, Hannah
Happy birthday, Grandma Lani! (and Grandpa Derrel, and Aunt Judy, and…)
Running in to *old* friends (they went to grammar school together!)
Goodnight, Grandpa
Foreshadowing…
…she WANTED in! (I swear!)
And while everyone else was reunion-ing….
…splendor in the grass :)
