My son Stefen and two of his children, Eakin & Eliza, are here this week (Stefen's wife Snee and their eldest daughter Zoe couldn't make it this year). We took a little scud in my skiff on Friday, and spent Saturday afternoon at the beach with Lachlan. The waves were just about perfect -- big enough and frequent enough for some great boogie boarding and body surfing, and no dangerous rip currents. We had a wonderful time. Saturday evening we had a big family dinner. Afterwards the children filled balloons with water and had a grand time running around outside just being kids. Lou Ann and I sat on the porch as the sun was setting, watching the sky darken and listening to the sounds of children playing.
