The beach

I just love the way a 5 minute drive to the lake provides so much happiness. (This week the added bonus of Auntie Saranne visiting).

Sam knows this place now and automatically runs to the slide (the "wee" as he calls it), then the swing followed by a play in the sand and a paddle.

And I love the way I can put Bella anywhere and she immediately gets busy with her close surroundings. In this instance sand.
