Because Sung-Ji Kim Schmidt, our old friend, came to town to visit, do yoga, and cook delicious meals for us.
In fact, we all were excited.
Before long, we got into the car and drove to Long Beach, Washington, home of Jake the Alligator Man:
Also, the alleged "longest beach in the world" (28 miles), a lighthouse . . .
And then Sung-Ji bought Ida a kite, a Penta-Cat kite --
--the instructions clearly state that one must be 5 to operate it, so until that time, Ida will just have to watch (and watch she did as Ella dropped the spool and chased in across the beach as it slid across the sand, barely catching it...)
Of course, the travel was occasionally hard on Ida,
and she had her less than stellar moments.
Who doesn't?
But we try to keep looking on the sunny side, like all those good-natured hi-jinks back at the beach house:

I like to check the blog while pumping at work, to get the milk flowing. Great update! Perhaps we can rotate the Sleestak out of there though?
Well, that's baby's cute, for sure, but where do you get off wearing that grungy stocking cap in the house? You ought to be ashamed. But that baby is a doll. She looks like a chubby spirit from Spirited Away. But she lives with a slacker. Take your hat off when you come in doors. But what a sweetheart.
Ida's actually much more adorable in person if that can be believed. She's quite clever too. We're becoming fast friends - I say let's keep her!
