Last week we went to Rockaway Beach on the Oregon Coast. We left 95 degrees and drove into the clouds, wind and cooler temperatures. 
I could not believe the kids went out into the water. I barely got my toes wet and that was enough.
What a fun day. The cool weather followed us eastward as we drove home, where we were welcomed my a much cooler house.
We made personal pizzas the other day. This crust recipe came from a friend and is so easy, I love it! The kids were so excited to make their own. In the past when we make pizza, I make 2 using a box mix. This was so much easier. While eating Michelle exclaimed, "I make the best pizza ever!" Pizza Crust Recipe
2 c hot water
2 T yeast
Let sit for a few minutes. Add:
2 t sugar
2 t salt
4 t olive oil
5 c flour (I substituted 1 cup with whole wheat flour!)
Mix it together. Get out your rolling pin and pizza toppings. Pull off tennis ball size lumps and let your kids go to town. (See easy, you don't have to let it raise!) Bake 450 for 10min.
It's not gourmet, it's not authentic, but we enjoyed it.

Heather, those beach pictures are great! Your kids are just so cute and I love the picture of the whole family!
Pizza, yum!
that first picture of all your kids is great! I think it needs to be framed! :) also love the place cards for the personal pizzas, so fun!
nothing better than escaping the heat and heading to the beach!!!
Thanks, Mary and Deanne. I had a hard time getting everyone to look at me at the same time, the wind was not helping either.
The place cards were important because I was sure to mix up the pizzas.
