Yesterday, I impulsively took the day off work (I actually warned them the day before) and decided that we would celebrate the first day of summer vacation for E by going to the beach.

It was a perfect day. I mean perfect. Perfect sky, perfect water temp, perfect air temp.

One of the best things about this particular beach is that there is a freshwater steam that runs down onto the sand and into the ocean. Every time we're there, all the kids are trying to use rocks and driftwood and whatnot to try and build a dam to stop up the stream.

They rarely succeed, of course, but they make new friends and work and play together. It is fascinating to watch the kids drift away from the project and then new kids drift in to pick things up where the prior kids left off.
Yes, a perfect day. Tonight we go to the Drive-in to see Brave and The Avengers. Summer has officially begun.
