We had such a wonderful time in June that when the opportunity presented itself we just had to get back to Southampton. Unfortunately we were minus one teammate (Cavan is at Lake Ontario for Papa Papa's memorial) but a good time was had nonetheless.
We settled right back into our fantastic beach routine: wake up with the sun (oh, wait, no that's wake up with the crowing of the Lulu). Coffee for parents. Breakfast for the little creatures. Then load into the VW bus and head for the beach. Dogs and kids play in the sand. Peanut continues to impress with her sheer guts and athleticism. She's an excellent surfer with razor sharp focus trained on a fuzzy green tennis ball. Roxie prefers to relax in the sand and just do nothing.
After an hour or so we head back for Lulu's nap time. Scrabble and lunch for mommy and daddy. Maybe even a nap for ourselves.
In the afternoon its to town for some lunch and window shopping or back to the beach (which we never, ever tire of). After some sun and fun comes the arduous task of deciding on dinner. With the resident chef on board one needs never to worry about going hungry (or hating the meal!). A trip to our favorite purveyor of fresh seafood yields not only an amazing dinner but a true education on sea creatures you never dreamt of. We love this place. We love each other. Rough life.
