The other day, an errand took me to Robert Moses State Park and right onto Barnhart Beach. We were on a schedule, but I decided that only a terrible mother would not let her kids mess around in the water when we were RIGHT THERE.
So we chucked the schedule for a half hour. So wild and crazy.
My kids will always remember me as the fun and spontaneous mother-- "I think we could manage approximately 29 and a half minutes here, but no more...."
In my defense, there was a lot to get done in a short amount of time.
But it was lovely.
Walking in sparkles
Alligator skin water shadows
After hours
Gilbert always starts out wading with his pants up. But inevitably, two minutes later he sees something important and charges off up to his waist.
Sigh...
Gilbert trying to call the seagulls to him.
Didn't work.
So he tried to catch one.
Didn't work either.
Seagulls who are not disturbed by Gilbert's antics
Gilbert perfectly happy with wet legs
I think we needed an unscheduled bit of time in the water.
