Beach half-day

We took the kids to Nantasket today for one last summer hurrah. It was okay, although Timmy managed to cut his foot on a shell and is limping a little. And, of course, he threw up in the car on the way home, but happily, a trash bag was available that mostly contained the mess. A quick stop at a Friendly's to throw away the bag in their outside barrel, and the incident was over save for the obligatory washing of the booster seat. Sigh.

But the beach itself was nice -- low-ish tide, medium waves. Abby enjoyed her boogie board while the boys played in the shallowest water. Earl went on deep-water duty with Abby, so I didn't have to wade in far.

My duty was only shin-deep.

And now we're home, showered, and the kids are keeping cool with a movie in the basement. I've got work to do, so I'll get to it.
