Lauren turns 7 years old

For the last two years, Lauren has been asking me

for a beach party or a pool party. Having a

birthday in autumn, it is highly unlikely to

be running around in costumes, but rather

jerseys and jackets. I planned a beach party,

but held my breath and put a cancellation

note on invites if raining. Well the weather

was a surprise and a blessing. The party was

held on Nahoon Beach and the temp. was

27 degrees. The kids ended up swimming

too! They had such fun. I even enjoyed it.

Beside the seaside........

I can't imagine not living near the sea. It adds

such a refreshing and invigorating aspect to my

environment.

The great times spent at the seaside are special.
