We hung out for a bit by the brook, with Bean asleep in the ergo.
Back at the house. When the sun hit the skylight just right, it made this lovely patch on the rug:
(See FB for pics of me reading w/Bean in the same spot.)
In the early evening we went to the beach for a bit. There was a breeze, but the sand was warm. J. went for a bike ride while I hung out with the kids, listening to the surf.
Cool sunset:
Sam grew these enormous feet:
Friday we spent much of the day at another beach, with a warm shallow lake on one side and the ocean on the other side of some sand dunes. Frida briefly modeled this ridiculously cute cover-up (it was *very* cheap on clearance online... which is good because she has worn it for about 20 minutes ever, and here is the evidence).
Then it was too cold, especially after she and I went in the lake for a bit, so she suited up and played in the sand while Sam played endlessly in the water.
We went to Menemsha for more scrumptious take-out seafood (eaten behind the store on lobster traps and crates), and then the sunset. It was crowded, but beautiful, and it was one of the things on the list of MV must-dos that we hadn't ever done. Check.
We got home late the next evening, after loading up the car and chatting with the nice retired kindergarten teacher who owns the house, browsing through a flea market, and going mini golfing.
It was a nice, relaxing week, and while we didn't get to spend as much time outdoors as we would have liked, we had fun. We saw (and waved out our car window at) the presidential motorcade twice, and were reminded of how nice it is to be able to go places spontaneously and more-or-less alone. Sheesh. Also, we're glad we aren't there *this* weekend.
And then September started with a bang. J's going on 6 different trips (some combined into two) this month; Bean just started daycare; I'm applying for jobs. Yeeeeehaw.
Wait, are you on Facebook? If so, friend me! I can't seem to find you.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a scrumptious vacation.
