Holiday Weekend

Seems like we've been in the car a lot this weekend, but the destinations have all been fun. Steve had today off (thanks, Columbus!) so he took the kids for the morning and let me study. Then when he came back we "spontaneously" decided to go to Ogunquit, except with kids nothing is really spontaneous because it requires about an hour to pack and even after loading in the kitchen sink you've still forgotten something. In our case it was the wind/rain shield for the stroller, and the fact that we'd be returning in normal rush hour plus return-from-holiday-weekend traffic. Oops. Still, anything is worth spending some time on the beach and it was a nice way to begin our week. Hudson was actually great on the ride up, decided he hated the beach as soon as we got out of the car, begrudgingly nursed, and then slept the rest of the afternoon as long as one of us held him. I've no doubt he'll be as enamored as Henri in a few months.

She takes her digging seriously

The clouds kept changing and looked really neat

The beginning of many castles

Our trusty workhorse

He was not thrilled about the constant wind

Hen just read a book at Grammies about a trip to the ocean so everything was "like in the book, mom!". Seaweed played a big part today

Can you spot the seaweed gatherer?

Bringing back her spoils

I don't remember why she was burying it

Plotting....

A little more content with Daddy. Check out the red hair! :)

Happy snoozes.

Tidal rivers and "sinks".

Hud back to snuggling



Family picture attempt # I can't even keep track. We'll get a decent one some day!
