Such a beautiful warm Sunday we had. We went out to a small and hidden away beach with Christina and her son Evan, a beach which was deserted and required a short hike through a pretty green forest. So magical. Freya had to play in the sand for a while, then I took her down to the water’s edge, and we looked at the shells and anemones in the very low tide. She wanted to stomp her feet in the water. She loved it. Two hours flew right by, and then it was time to head back. Amazingly, she remained awake on the drive, but once home it wasn’t to tough to get her to nap, which she did for her usual two hours. I then ate lunch and watched tennis and relaxed a bit. Then we went downtown with Brian for iced coffee and hanging out on the grass by the marina.

And now I should be writing. Or sorting through Freya’s old clothing. Or whatever. But I want a nap! Alas. And I’ll need to start dinner shortly, but it should be easy: black bean and chicken nachos, and the chicken is already cooked.

This has been our first REAL summery weekend of 2011. I hope there are many more to look forward to this season.
