The Beach!

Last week was our family's annual beach trip. This year we were fortunate to have a lot of family there, many of whom we had not seen for years. Unfortunately, due to prior work commitments, James couldn't join us this year, but he promises he will make it next year! Evan did remind me several times during our vacation that he "really misses Daddy." James was a saint however, and in between long hours at work, was caring for our new dog Lucy, who had an intestinal infection. Yuck. We will introduce her in a future post.

Ice cream at Painter's.



Evan eating Penne a la Betsy. I made it for everyone one night. I couldn't believe he actually tried and ate it. Thank goodness for other good little eaters in the house.



Sweet Madison.



The kids watching a movie during a siesta.



Heated pool and hot tub. Nice!

You are looking at the next Vijay Singh here folks! No, I am not talking about Mike. Mike and I took Evan to Putt Putt and we had a good time! Mike showed Evan the finer points of putting.





Playing on the beach.



Going for a bike ride.





The kite runners.





The found object: Dora kite. Ed found it on the beach, tied on a new sting and voila, instant fun for hours.







Somehow or another, kite flying led to naked babies on the beach.

Evan's last day of preschool was a week early due to our beach trip. We are going to miss it, and his wonderful teachers, Ms. Kim and Ms. Lee.
