Opening Day
Yesterday was the summer solstice or, first day of summer, and the opening day for summer activity on the beach. Here are a few shots snapped during the afternoon and evening.

*Note: the fish made it all the way to the kitchen before dad discovered it and tossed it out the door. I witnessed the toss back to the beach!

Who Knew?

How could anyone have known that the new trampoline would arrive on the beach at the precise moment that the Wicked Witch of the East would be passing through the area?

Rumor has it that the Wicked Witch of the East (WWE) was returning from a visit with her sister the Wicked Witch of the West (WWW) when the accident occurred. It not well understood why witches sometimes travel at low altitudes when commuting. The disposition of the ruby slippers is unknown, however speculation has it that either one of the vandal river otters (previous topic) or Jake, the dog who lives next door, made off with them after the accident. Who knew?
