Iveyrock

I thought I’d take a moment to share what I’m working on, since I’ve been putting up the kids’ projects.

I want to make more soakers, but that is on hold until I get a pair of shorts made for Ian. It has been a crazy, long process. Currently I think I am on the right track… but I’ve thought that before. No pictures of those until I’m done, I don’t want to jinx myself.

My other project is this rag rug, crocheted from old tee-shirts. I thought I was done, but when I put it in the space, I realized it needs to be bigger. Which means another trip to Goodwill.

I noticed that my kids’ approach to seagull hunting was so uniquely ‘them’… it was fun to watch

Ian was committed to catching a seagull. He tried several different approaches, including scooping them up in a bucket.

Chava tried to talk to the seagulls into coming to her. “Do you want to come here, seagull?….”

Micah was slow, but very determined.

“lalala…”

“…wait a minute… what are these?”

“I bet if I just crawl fast enough…”

“Hey, guys!”

sadness

“maybe next time…”

We started out with a stop at Seaworld

Then headed down to the coast

The beach was beautiful, I loved how the water changed with the weather. We caught fish and crabs, and saw seagulls, pelicans, and some kind of hawk. The kids had such a good time.

As much as the older two loved the sand and water, I think Micah had the best time of all. I am pretty sure he was trying to take as much home as he could…
