Approaching

A Nice Weekend on the Coast

En route to the coast, stopped at the Wilson River. It was not a very warm day, but the swimming could not be prevented.

Soon we were at the ocean, where Ida, of course, would not be denied:

Lots of twin dressing; very hard to keep people separate/straight.

Unfortunately, once the children were in bed, an Epic Scrabble match began; Ella and I were pretty sure that OM was a word, but we didn't back up Arthur for fear of Maggie's reprisal and because it was so much fun to watch this old school disagreement:

The next morning, some very serious structures and forts were built on the beach.  

And then a rogue wave, a sneaker wave, a "Sugami" came in and wreaked havoc!

Everyone too this in stride, and tried to make repairs:

Wash your hands! They are every frickin where

Injustice!

Ida waited 2+ years, until 2nd grade, to score a locker!  And what happened?  Miki, as a kindergartener, not only got a locker, but doesn't even have to share!  Damn.  Ida stands in the hallways and proclaims to all passing students, "Can you believe it?  A kindergartener with her own locker?  Unfair!"
