Mulberry Street: Beach Trip part 3

"And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street"

There is this great Dr. Seuess book about a boy who walks to school everyday down Mulberry Street. All he ever encounters are normal things and he wants to see extraordinary things so he can have a good story for his dad when he gets home. So the book is made up of this boy's imaginative exaggeration of the normal. Great things that all build upon each other to end with a grand parade. The boy finally realizes all the exaggeration is too unbelievable and decides to just tell his dad what he really saw on the way home-the normal, everyday stuff. That's what we are sharing in this blog, so we thought Mulberry Street a fitting name. We sometimes feel no one wants to hear about our everyday lives, but hopefully you do. Enjoy!

Beach Trip part 3

We love our days on the beach!!!

Miss Lily with her pinwheel. Mimi always gets us at least one pinwheel to put in the ground by the chairs.

We had a short walk to get to the water. William had to help Joseph occassionally.

These were the BEST floats to ride waves. They are called inflatable surfboards and were very hard to find down there. Our first two blew away one day and I drove 45 minutes one way to get some more-the last two they had!

Papa Bill and Joseph. Joseph had days where he wanted to dive in and days where he wanted to be anywhere but on the beach. This was one of the days he wanted to go to the house!
