beach(ish)

yesterday, the kids and i hit the "beach" in my hometown with aunt kristin, her friend bonnie, and bonnie's son AJ. quentin loves the beach but his general mood is so unpredictable that it would be crazy to drive a couple of hours to hit a real ocean beach like the cape or one in CT, RI, or NH. so fairly gross pond water it is. he had a blast and went willingly in the water all the way up to his chest. he never put his head or face in, but he did sit down a few times with the water up to his neck. he loves digging in the sand and pouring buckets of pond water on himself. caroline was amused and liked the water, as long as she didn't splash herself in the face. she also really wanted (and succeeded a couple of times) to eat sand and rocks. lots of pics for daddy who misses his babies.
- one of the coolest things - the F15s from barnes air national guard base right next to the ponds were out doing some training maneuvers. my camera doesn't have the greatest zoom, but it still got some pretty good shots.

So how did Q react to being attacked by tiny flesh eating fish? I hate that pond.

they left him alone, i think. either they were nibbling his feet and he just didn't care, or they were repelled by his filth and just stayed away. they were definitely chomping on my feet.
