Sunday

Matthew and Walter peer out of the telescope and spy some seagulls.

Walter looks dubiously out at the sea.

We drove down to the beach this morning for Mass, and as is our tradition, stopped for coffee afterwards at the Steaming Bean. We pulled out the stroller and took Walt for a short jaunt down the beach. The air was full of salt, but it felt clean and invigorating. I was reminded for the millionth time how lucky we are to raise our boy in such a beautiful place. 

 

Matthew got free tickets to a music festival through his work. The live music was fantastic, there was beer and gelato to be had, and some friends of ours met us there. What more do you need to have the perfect afternoon? We laid a quilt out on the grass and enjoyed ourselves. Walter had a great time picking up acorns and little stones and clapping his hands to the music. 

And now it is time for a bath and a bedtime story.
