Wednesday, August 13
Clara made a list early in the week of things she wanted to do at the beach. One of her items was to see the sun rise. So on Wednesday morning Gramby & Su-su woke her up and were able to drag her out of bed to see the sights, not quite as impressive as one might have hoped, but she was there!
Later that morning the kids took a trip to the aquarium with their grandparents. They came back from it shouting that there was a store at the aquarium where you could buy stuff! With Gramby and Su-su they discovered the wonders of the gift shop.
Little crabs!

Sydney was very worried about all the hootin' and hollerin' that was going on out in the waves, so she investigates and plays with Clara and Jack.

Teamwork.

Nighty-night, beach!
Awesome! Like a time capsule. Could almost feel the sand betwixt me toes!
ReplyDeleteCheck out the September 2009 Emerald Isle blog for a picture of Clara at the aquarium that I was trying to recreate with this years photo.
