What do people do all day?


Jessica has always talked about when she was a child her sister Emily and her would spend hours and hours at the beach when they were at the cottage. Doing what? It was hard to imagine. But this past weekend as we spend a few days there I watched as Art and even Lewis would creatively fill time digging, dumping, washing, swimming, pretending, eating. It was a revelation for me and entirely wonderful for the kids.

I'll post more photos from our weekend tomorrow...
