Day at the Dunes


The kids had the day off school and Matt took the day off work. First we cleaned the house up and then Matt and I made bar soap. I have been wanting to do this for a while, but didn't have the guts to do it by myself. Together, we made our first batch of bar soap.

The soap is resting on top of the ledge for two days. Then they are cut into bars.

Then we went out to the dunes with the 4-wheelers.



These are two videos of my little Beau riding with his Dad. He loved it!

I put a meal in the crock pot before we left, so all I had to do was make rice while all the kids showered. Then we ate and went to bed. We were all so tired.
