Yesterday at our beach, there was a bit of sadness. A harbor seal was there, no longer alive.She seemed to be well respected and marked for pickup by the aquarium today, but it was still sad to see. The little girl wanted to say a prayer which was so lovely and sweet. So tonight we packed a special dinner picnic for the beach, just to kind of have things on a better note. Turns out the kids like fresh turkey sandwiches, which is good because now I have several pounds of turkey breast.

The boy was fighting the tide, and eventually, the tide won.

Also, the percentage of surfers wearing wetsuits gets smaller daily.
