Some other highlights:
- Captain Sandy came- again! He brought friendship bracelets, pirate candy, necklaces, tiny dinosaurs, etc. How does that pirate always know when we are at the beach?
- Ian's 35th birthday- congo bars made with love by Zanne, and then, because Ian has a bit of a sweet tooth these days, a trip to the ice cream shop.
- Watching a waterspout move across the sky and ocean
- Watching porpoises jump out of the water
- Having all three kids sleep in the same room, pretty successfully, and Graham picking up the girls bedtime routine (chat, chat, chat! and yelling, "see you when the sun and the moon come out")
- Building Harper a "mermaid tail" out of sand
- Graham falling in love with another rubber animal, this time a shark named "Sharky shark!"
- Lucy going off in "lu lu land" every time she was at the beach. This kid could spend all day every day at the beach, water's edge and never know if the rest of us were down there or not.
