Sand dollars

I miss being able to caption my photographs. The program I had been using to do so isn't working properly on my home computer and I don't like the idea of reinstalling it.

But let's pretend we can caption our photos. This top photo is a picture of daddy and Amelia at the beach. Daddy is building a sand castle while Amelia is collecting sand dollars, shells and rocks to give to grandma. (Who wouldn't want a pail full of sandy rocks?)

Diana did not join us on the beach. The truth is that she was taking a nap. And once we felt how cold and windy it was near the water I was a bit relieved Diana didn't come along.

A funnier story based on the second photograph might be told with the caption: "Diana, embarassed by her increasing weight (she now weighs almost 18 pounds) refuses to be seen in a bathing suit and chooses to sit out the family trip to the beach."
