Fun At The Beach
Long Beach was great fun, as usual. Ror was terrified of the sea, as usual. Connor, however, was a brave soul, and had lots of fun in the ocean with Katie. After watching Connor and Riley Katie have all the fun, Ror did eventually venture in, after much cajoling, and ended up having a blast.
Gipper enjoyed her first seaside adventure and was fascinated by the sand. I’m sure she would have eaten it if we had allowed it.
One thing that has sort of perplexed me is that the kids have never asked about the reporter and photographer. I’m not sure if it’s our own constant shutterbug antics or what, but Connor, Ror and Riley-Kate seem to take it for granted now, that Katie comes with her own entourage, and that now and then, they’ll be asked questions and have a billion pictures taken of themselves. No biggie. I was not totally thrilled that the photographer came with us to the beach; she’s a nice gal, but I really don’t think the New York Times needs to run photos of me in a bathing suit when I’ve still got [coughs to conceal actual numer] postpartum pounds to lose. Anyway, Connor, Ror and Riley Kate had no such scruples, and seemed oblivious to the fact that she took about a hundred photos of them, though I did hear Riley Kate mumble something like, “those blasted paparazzi again…” Kidding.
We did manage to get some photos of our own, so check them out via the link at right.
Wish I had more to write, but alas, I am back on the antibiotic and narcotic train to oblivion, so my head isn’t exactly as clear as usual. Hopefully in a few months this will all be a distant memory and I’ll be back to normal.
For those who are counting, TEN DAYS TO CLOSING on the house!
