This Saturday's guests

David came for the day to see his childhood friend, Jim, who had been here for the week with his wife and three boys. David, of course, brought his wife and two boys and two girls. A good time was had by all -- including the grandparents of both Jim and David.


We settled in to our spot on the beach.



We're not whale watching, just three generations standing and talking!

Mike worked hard all afternoon







Kathryn was busy catching hermit crabs





While Jill, Maria, and Susan preferred to sit








Christopher was off fishing, kyaking, and constructing sand-dams with Jim's sons Ryan and Liam, not to be seen until meal time!



At the end of the day, David grabbed Mikey (as he inists he is to be called) for a hug,








Maria played with her singing Barney,







and Kathryn read a book.

You don't need a photo to imagine what Jack and I were doing at the end of the day! (surprise! hint)
