“It was a whole light-show of expressions!”  — Melanie

First (unofficial) Beach Day

(as before, look below for captions)

1.) I am turning into my sister: every picture must be posed.

2.) A tribute to my sister. The classic cartwheel.

3.) I shall admit, I have a fond spot for jumping pictures.

4.) Melanie and Luke were perfectly posed on the hill without any prior direction from me-it was just wonderful!

5.) Beaches make me happy.

6.) Shadows in the Sand! (we bear a striking resemblance to ninjas …)

7.) I taught her well.

8.) The Dynamic Duo … with a spectacular back-drop.

9.) This one requires a little explaining. Okay, so we were walking on the beach, and, as is expected, got our feet sandy, so we set out on a quest to find a “foot shower” (or whatever those are called). Unfortunately, the only one we could find was a full shower. Contrary to what is expected, I actually successfully turned it on at such a low dribble that I could stick my feet under and wash them off (I was quite proud of myself). Unfortunately, when I went to turn it off, I turned it the wrong way. And got drenched. And then Melanie found an actual foot washer. That’s the end of that.
