...and digging holes in which to pour it! Never gets old.
The best find of the day was a jellyfish floating in the water just offshore. Is it just me, or does it look a bit like a fried egg? Good thing no one got too close.
Larson and Bompa heading home...I think this was after the Amtrak train went by, another bonus to our favorite local beach.
Summer means birthdays in my family: it starts with dad in early July, then my sister later in the month and now August means three birthdays: my Aunt Phyllis, Cora and me. We decided to bake Bompa a cake on one of his last nights here. Larson was more than happy to oblige in the "clean up."
He also decorated the top of the cake. I think those are valentine's sprinkles, but who cares? :)
On the last day we decided to *try* to take some family photos. Of course, this was pretty much exactly the time of day when the weather decided to be really windy. And per usual, there is at least one person in almost every photo who is not looking at the camera, but here is the best of the bunch. I just tell myself that these are more "candid" shots that allow everyone's personality to show. Trying to get the perfect shot is next to impossible! (well, my sister could probably do it, but she's not around 24/7 just for Buchholz family photo-documentation!)
Very shortly after this visit, my dad became pretty sick and needed to be hospitalized and have surgery. He's now recovering at home, for which we are all so grateful. Even though I was working for the majority of the visit, we had such a great time and are so thankful that Nana and Bompa came to stay for the week before this "curveball" came our way. We love you both so very much!
