digging for treasure

 

This shot makes it look like Charlie "produced" the sand pile between his legs.

 

 

One of the reasons we went for a second child is so that Schuyler would have someone more her size to play with growing up.  And it's largely worked.  These two have become quite the team playing almost everything together from hide-and-seek (listening to Charlie try and count to ten is just part of the fun - Schuyler has about ten minutes to hide), to Lego buildings (which Charlie wrecks to the chagrin of his sister), to chasing each other around the dining room table, to simply digging in the sand.  Auntie Kerry and the Davis Crew had invited us to Baby Beach on the spur of the moment and it was just what we needed to get outside and breathe some fresh air.  The kids played in the sand for probably an hour.  This is likely an activity that would make me a better person if I did it for an hour a week just to remind myself of the simple meditative pleasure of just "being" at the beach.  Also, the scenery ain't so bad either - reminds you we live in a spectacular little island.
