*Joining Ginny
There has been a bit of radio silence on my part the last few days. On Thursday I came down with a horrible stomach virus (perhaps the same one the kids had two weekends ago?) and I’ve only recently begun to feel like an actual human being.
On Sunday (since I was finally able to pick myself up off the bathroom floor) Gabe and I took the kids to a park on the Hood Canal. It was overcast because of the fires in Eastern Washington but the view was still incredible and the breeze felt amazing. The kids enjoyed themselves, but I wish I had thought ahead and brought a spare change of clothes for them. I didn’t expect for the water to be so warm and they were itching to splash around. Normally I would have let them wade in and play in their clothes, but we were heading to dinner shortly afterwards and two small children sitting naked and shivering in a restaurant just wasn’t an option for us, go figure.
The photo of Sam holding onto a shell is one of my favorites. He claimed he could hear the ocean from inside the shell.
I haven’t done much knitting or reading this week. I’m still working on Inland and I finally caved and ordered my own copy of A Well Trained Mind. There is too much information in there for me to take in without being able to highlight to my heart’s content.
The yarn in your Inland sweater is a very pretty color. And the pictures of your family playing at water’s edge look so sweet. Someday I hope to experience the coast at this time of year (though for me, it’s more likely to be the north east coast). Visiting fully into fall would be even better. 🙂
Hi Becki,
Thanks for the compliments, I was nervous buying yarn online when I hadn’t seen it in person, but it turned out to be a good choice. I hope you are able to visit the beach before it becomes too cold!
