At the beach

My parents have been here visiting us. We decided that since it was 100+ degrees outside we should head to the beach and introduce Eirena to the ocean (and sand). We left Berji in charge of the home front, sent our car-sick, water despising dog to go visit a friend of ours, and crammed five people into our five seater car for what is normally a 4 hour drive. We camped on the beach and rigged shade with a tarp and the car. And went swimming in the water to cool off. Lovely! Here are some pictures:

Eirena loved the sand!


she got Granddad & Dr. Daddy to build a sand castle for her
That's where we've been the past few days. Eirena heartily approves of the beach, the sand and hopping waves.

Looks like a perfectly beautiful day at the beach. And Eirena sure knows how to get things done for her...wonderful little supervisor.
