{The Beach}

Hello there and Happy Wednesday!
I'm back with more vacation pictures.

 I told you there were a lot of beach pictures, right?
And did I tell you how hot it was?
Well, it was really hot, I don't have an exact number, but hot.
And camping is really hot, especially in July.
 When you can't swim part of the time you are there, it's even hotter.
Anyway, we took full advantage of the beach.

We collected many, many rocks which are now sitting in glass jars on the fireplace mantel along with jars of sand. The rock collecting part was one of our favorite things; rocks of all shapes, sizes and colors. We loved how when we went back to the beach at night the sand felt completely different, it was cool, not hot at all. 

There really is nothing better than bare feet in the sand...love that feeling.

I can totally see myself living near the water...the beach, the lake, the ocean. Ahhhhh.
I can just imagine how peaceful it would be to wake up in the morning and walk right out to the water with a cup of coffee, to end your evenings there with a glass of wine while watching the sun go down.
That could do wonders for my state of mind. Seriously.

I  love this picture of Charlotte actually skipping down to the water,  frolicking on the beach.
It's so nice to see your children completely entertained by the outdoors, no toys except maybe a shovel and pail and no television. They could play for hours like this and that is a great thing.

This morning I am sitting here sipping coffee, eating toast with blueberry jam and thinking
about writing out my to-do list.
 But I think I'm too lazy to write the list, let alone complete anything on my list.
Instead I think I will do nothing a bit longer, maybe a little more blog reading and Flickr-gazing,
 then start to look up ballet classes for the little one to take this Fall.
What's on your to-do list for today?
Or what are you ignoring on your to-do list today?
