At the seaside… the beautiful sea.
Last year when we went to the beach, Caroline wouldn’t get near the sand. She wouldn’t even look at the sand, much less touch it with any part of her body. This year all she wanted to do was run headlong into the ocean. William still just wanted to build sandcastles. Which Caroline just stepped on. William learned to use a skimboard (or skinboard, as he calls it). We watched a huge fireworks show on the beach, went to a kidsfest with jumpers and facepainting, visited a waterpark, and went on a sailboat ride. Mostly, none of us wanted to come home.
But we have lots and lots of pictures. So forgive my indulgence as I show you the modern equivalent of those endless vacation slideshows my neighbors used to make my family sit through when I was a kid in the seventies. Actually, this has probably been the busiest week of my whole summer and I have tons of sessions to get finished and blogged about. But I decided for once to take the evening off and work on pictures of my own kids.
