Cousin Time ~ Day Two

My sister and her family were here for a few days
the week before last.
We had some special times together ~
two days in a row.
Emma had her girl cousin for a sleepover.

~ W.O.N.D.E.R.F.U.L. ~

We met up the next day to return precious cousin to her family.
Since we live so near the beach,
a stroll along the shore was the destination.

Little man cousin...taking it all in!

The girls...

Calvin and Fraser...

All SIX of 'em ~ front view...

And strolling away from us...

The girls running...

And pondering life...maybe?

Is it possible to go to the beach and NOT get wet??

Apparently not...

The whole gang...except me. :)

Strolling the promenade and chatting...

Great Auntie from Saskatchewan had a treat...

Rocket Balloons...ever heard of them?

They were...
G.R.E.A.T. F.U.N.!!!

Calvin made a discovery along the path back to the car.
I made him release it before leaving the beach.
Smart Mum, don't you think?
FYI ~ it was A.L.I.V.E.

Continuing to number my thanks ~
gratefulness is addicting.

731. A beach nearby to enjoy year-round

732. A "holiday destination" to explore at our leisure ~
and that we can return home at night to our own beds

733. The sparkle of sunlight on the distant waves ~
it looks like diamonds on the sea

734. "Fish and Chips" for dinner ~
a summer tradition and a local favourite

735. Rocket balloons ~ fun times!

736. An auntie who thinks of these things
and brings them along ~ thank you!! :)

737. Six kids running along the shore

738. Watching the kids interact and enjoy one another's company

739. Sunny summer days to enjoy the great outdoors

740. Thankful that the grasshopper was set free before the
ride home ~ and it was not used as a weapon. ;-)

Many Blessings,
Camille
