Our Neighborhood Beach!

 Our neighborhood beach is called Stone Steps and is named after the numerous cobblestones that are found on the beaches here.  As you can see Finn really enjoys playing with these stones!  It is our tradition to walk to this beach on the big holidays, no parking to have to deal with!  We love this beach, mostly because we always run into neighbors and friends here and it isn't as crowded as Moonlight Beach. Finn was so cute in his surf trunks and awesome octopus hat.

We did have some house homework this weekend to do, figuring out our interior door sizes as we found a door we liked and it is only on sale until June 1st.

This door goes quite well with the beachy farmhouse style of the house and has clean lines that keep it a little more modern.  We also had to make some decisions regarding the ends of our roof rafters that will be visible under the eaves of our roof.  Did we want them straight or cut at an angle or notched, etc. the decisions to make are never ending!  On our walk home from the beach we took some pics of houses that had the rafter tails we liked.

Ok, so our house is not going to be quite this amazing but there are lots of ideas that we are hoping to incorporate on a smaller scale!  Our house will look more like this one:

We took the secret path home from the beach shortcutting through neighbor Charles and Sharon's backyard, notice how passed out Finn is!

Look at these huge watermelons hanging on the side of their fence.

Summer is officially here in my opinion!

The vintage dolphin stroller even made it out for a walk!
