The Fishy Breeze

After a bit of down time at home and some scrapbooking about African Lion Safari, off we went to the beach to enjoy a picnic dinner of corn on the cob, wrap sandwiches, chips with guac and salsa and some carrots, for balance. Though the skies were overcast and the wind was a bit chilly, the girls enjoyed all the visual stimulation of dinner on the beach. From the guy who had a giant kite that pulled him literally off the ground, to the guy in the speedo bathing suit swimming in the lake, the surfer guy and the kayaker, the girls were filled with a sense of adventure and fun. After dinner the girls went for a walk on their own, and were fairly well disciplined about staying far enough away to feel "alone" but close enough to still see me on the green blanket. They strolled the beach, shoeless, for about half an hour, and evidently, it was SO NICE just walking alone on the beach with that fishy breeze on your face. Yes, you read that correctly: The Fishy Breeze - New York Times Bestseller by Ayla Fournier. Inspired by a true story of the adventure of a 10 year old and her 9 year old friend.
