Road Trip

Today Luke and I are going on a road trip, so there will be pictures later!

Here they are:

On the road. Look at all the bugs we collected!

Luke loves sand! He played in the water until his lips turned blue, and cried when we left.

I enjoyed just sitting on the beach. Perhaps the most relaxing day I've had in some time.

Thanks Ruth and Ralph for having us out to Matlock for the day. It was gorgeous. I wrote this poem on the way home for you:

To Ruthie and Ralph:
My memory of our day on the beach

Roasting shoulders
Black smoochers
old labrador struggling to stand

Simmering toes
cooled in the waves
Sea glass in your hands

Sunny cheeks
dimpled wrists
diaper full of sand
