A spot with a view

This was my view for most of my days last week.  And, I loved it.  Give my babies some water, some sand, some rocks, some buckets, (and some floaties), and they are happy.   For HOURS! It's the most low maintenance activity around.  Of course we did have that issue with peeing in the ocean but more on that tomorrow . . . 

Now we are home and back to the grind of home improvement which why this post is already ending.  But I will be better about posting.  Come back soon to hear about my boys stripping on the beach, lots of vacationing Europeans (you know they have very loose standards when it comes to beach wear), Will's connection with the big bad wolf, and of course, more tile woes. Because what would a tile project in my house be if it didn't bring with it some drama.
TTFN   
And welcome back to my blagapalooza friends and sorry I couldn't be with you.  I'm already enjoying reading all about it!

Peeing in the ocean....is there something wrong with that?

Where are you anyway? Looks wonderful.

Ooooohhh, can't wait to hear all the juicy details. Would you just kick everyone out of your house already so you can write about it?

Thanks for checking in. It was great to hear from you. Sounds like this vacation was much needed and much deserved. I can't wait to see the pics of the finished project. Tell the fam hi.

european ways....that brought to mind an incident we had..and remember, we had 4 girls before the son. We had so many foreign/international students live with our family that I have truly lost count. But we enjoyed all but 1. One summer we had this young man live with us from France.

Since we live a block from Lake Erie my children had the same sort of enjoyment of beach/lake as you blogged about. The kids took this teen down to the beach for a swim. My teen girls were all agiggle when they got home to relate what they had witnessed as this frog stripped to nothing and then put on his swim trunks...in front of them.

Guess who didn't need to have a talk with them? Frenchie did it all....man! I can't remember his name....but we sure remember his body.

Good memory...thanks for the brain jog
