Let's go to the beach!

We were in the middle of a heat wave and my favorite way to beat the heat is head to the beach! I found a helper (my cousin's daughter, Lexi) and we left bright and early. Setting up the beach tent was a bit tricky since I had never done it before, but we figured it out.
I didn't get to take too many pictures, but I did get a few...

The weather was perfect! Not too hot, the water was amazing. The sand was a bit hot, but we wore our sandals down the shore and jumped in.

Super day!

Thanks Lexi!

Look who got glasses!

The boys have been followed by an eye doctor since before they were discharged from the hospital. Because they were preemies, they are at increased risk for eye problems.

Very early on, Ben started turning his eyes in. Thus he was followed by an additional doctor. He goes every six months and Nate and Sam go once per year.

At our last visit, I mentioned that bens eyes were crossing again (it had stopped for over a year). The doctor did many in depth tests and measures and found that his eyes have been getting progressively worse since birth. His current measurement is +6.50. I have no idea what that means but I know it's bad.

This was after his appointment when he had all his testing done.

This is his eyes turning because he's trying to focus.

Here he is trying on new frames.

This is his first picture with his new glasses!

I joke that he looks like a minion!

I think he's still pretty handsome!!!

Canobie Lake Park

My mom (aka Giggy) generously offered to take us to Canobie Lake Park. It's an amusement park that's about 20 minutes away from us. We picked a super hot day to go, but we still had a blast!
