Hanging Out With Grandpa and Gigi

Daniel's long awaited guys' weekend away has come and gone, and we are home again. Everyone is exhausted, but the trip was worth it. Daniel enjoyed a much needed break from all of his work and at the same time reconnected with many old friends. I had been dreading another weekend alone with the kids (Daniel had been away the weekend before as well), because when Daniel is not home to relieve me, I get so tired, and when I am tired, I get so grumpy, and then I am no fun to be around. We got lucky though, because grandpa and gigi were kind enough to take us in, and the kids and I had a thoroughly delightful weekend with them.




Here is a picture of the bean clams that the girls and I collected. Ella and Virginia still refer to these clams as their pets. They'll occasionally ask, "what do you think grandpa and gigi have done with our pets?" I tell them that perhaps grandpa and gigi have returned the pets to the wild ocean, but I suspect that I am wrong.
