To the Beach!

Do you know the book A Fish out of Water by Helen Palmer? It is Daniel's favorite book right now, so we have been reading it a lot. As the fish Otto gets bigger and bigger, finally the firemen are called in to save the day. They hoist poor Otto up by his tail on the ladder. "Where will you take him?" asks Otto's little boy. "To the pool!" reply the firemen. "To the pool!" echoes the little boy.

Where are we going today? To the beach! We don't have a rapidly growing fish that makes our choice imminent, but I feel like yelling that today. I've felt like yelling it all week, honestly. To the beach!

Last night, Daniel and Sarah Beth got a little bit excited because they could tell something was going on, but they don't quite understand what. All I can say about Daniel is that you should see the other guy, and the picture doesn't do justice to his poor nose and upper lip.


Just kidding. He fell off the armrest twice and hit the bookshelf once on the way down. Then Sarah Beth proceeded to fall down the stairs, not all of them, just a few. I began to think they don't want to go to the beach. What do you think?

Our van is very full. To save room, we thought we would just mail Sarah Beth. Do you think two stamps is enough?


We will be gone until next Saturday, and we will not have access to a computer. There will be no new posts from me until we get back, and I look forward to catching up on your blogs then, too. Have a good week!

I LOVED that book as a kid. I always worried about overfeeding my goldfish after that. Hope you had a great vacation. Love the pics of the kids.
