We've just returned from a week by the sea. It was lovely. But it was especially fun to catch the thrill of a two year old and one year old as they experienced the sights and sounds and smells of the shore. Emmie was so very excited to spend time with cousins. She thought Sam and Ben were "Aunt Bec's friends". She went into the water for a few days until the ocean was scary and then wouldn't go near it. But many a sand castle and sand hole were built and many a sea shell gathered. Lena developed a turbo crawl on the sand but wasn't too keen on the ocean. She thought the gulls were just the silliest creatures around. It was sweet to live life together for a week with family and they were all gracious with our 6 am (or 4:45!) risers. After the littles went to bed, the games came out and grownups played until they fell asleep. The girlies had a fun week and now we are working on getting back into routine and weeding our garden!
