Old news is getting older all the time. Here's a beach visit from back when Pete was in China. My mum came along. See 'em down there on the left?

This was only our second time to the beach with the kids. I keep thinking this can't be true, but it really is. The blog record proves it - we didn't even bother going at all last year. We're just not
beach people.

Daphne had been asking for a kite, so we brought one this time. She was interested for about 3 minutes. I'm sure all the parents in the audience can relate.

"The sun's too bright and there's wind and there's sand on me and Daphne won't let me use the kite and why did you bring me here and waahhh!"

James finally gets a turn. His interest drastically diminished when Daphne's did. Again, parents in the audience???

Few things have the power to cheer up a little boy more than rocks...

Happy memories! And, I just remembered my wild Auntie Rosie saying, "I can't abide sand."
