August 13
We had the Collins family (Beth, Geoff, Sophie and Daniel) up to our house for the day, and we had a wonderful trip to the beach and Lynch Park. We ordered pizza and ate it at a picnic table, all sandy and in our swimsuits. It was a nearly perfect day. (despite seaweed in the water and combative toddlers beating up on our kids :) )
Beth posted some great pictures on her family's web site -- none of mine came out as good as hers, so I'll spare you!

Yummy!
I am eating so fast, I'm blurry

"Boona" (Luna), my mom's very large cat!
Crashing blocks with Grampy
Is this how you eat lobster? Grampy asked if she was sure she hadn't seen "Splash" yet
We gave Charlotte a few bites of lobster, and she loved it! She was dipping her food in Daddy's lobster juice.... ha ha! She also played with the claw for quite a while.
Gnawing
We finally had to take it away from her, and she was not too pleased. (But Grammy made cake for dessert, so it was all OK in the end)
That's all for now! Phew! I have updated 2 months' worth of pictures in one afternoon while Charlotte destroyed the living room. It can all be put back! I hope...
Enjoy!
