friday

today is beautiful.
i took the kiddies and the dog to the beach.
we shot a roll of film.
i am making my first of many attempts for a holiday photo.
the dog escaped.
we got him back, thanks to the retractable leash he had on. he got all twisted and limpy. we caught him.
now that i think about it, it must have been a sight to see. the three of us hollering and strategically placing ourselves for the capture...

so the photos need to be developed.
my littlest has that "squinty-strained-smile" thing going on.
the oldest is a poser. she strikes a pose. she tries to coach the little one to pose.
the dog was too busy digging holes and trying to escape to be in any of the shots.

the weather and the huge waves and the togetherness - it made it all good.
the fresh air and warmth made everything okay.
i think maybe we'll go back later on, when the light is a little softer and the tide is going out .
minus the dog though! he can stay safe at home.
