Good Weekend

On Friday we went to the County Fair and then on Saturday I took the boys to their 'dojo picnic'  and they had all the fun kids can have with unlimited wet sand, rocks and strange  things washed up by the tide, and now they have a new favorite beach. Though I think they will find it diminished without 30 other kids to share it with.  I hadn't been to this particular beach in twenty years. It was a pretty popular beach as beaches go around here, spectacularly beautiful, and there were people surfing, horseback riding (I was so jealous!), rock climbing and getting married.  I love weddings (though I was too shy to throw one for myself and eloped) and it was cute to see them getting windblown in their formal wear.  The poor chilly bridesmaids all had identical dresses and identical slightly hunched bare shoulders.  I recommend beachwear for beach weddings, I think.  The officiant's long white vestments were particularly unruly.
