A fun day at the beach. Waves, sunshine, beach football, sandcastle building and a little rock crab. A little too much seaweed but other than that, perfect.

At Second Glance


The Egg Hunters
Originally uploaded by terrancemanion

At first glance this picture looks remarkably like the other one I posted of the Derrydown'ers. When I looked at it the next day I couldn't stop laughing. It appears that everyone one of the kids (including the baby Linzie) seems to be reacting to something that Tommy did that was less-than-appropriate. Avery's (far left) reaction had me in stitches.
