Next we went to the bagel shop next door where they were celebrating the 4th ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040054 ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040055 in grand style. We checked out the menu ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040056 but didn't want to ruin our appetites so we had Benjamin do the flag thing ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040057 took a picture of this bumper sticker ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040058 and then ran into these wonderful children ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040059 ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040060 having a holiday parade.

Back at home, as the time passed, ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040061 Jane and Lucy rested ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040062 and then got ready to move ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040063 even though the day was gloomy. ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040064 But time passed ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040065 so we watched Rikki ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040066 ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040067 ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040068 ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040069 encourage people to get out of their Mom's house. And then we got settled at the beach ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040070 as Suzanne read the Bernstein guide to Paris ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040071 and Lucy and Jane gathered shells. ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040072 All of this digging ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040073 ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040074 ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040075 ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040076 led to these conch shells with live animals in them ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040077 ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040078 ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040079 and this crab ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040080 so that we roamed the beach looking for more ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040081 ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040082 ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040083 until it was time to return for reading. ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040084 and Michael and Caroline ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040085 could discuss publishing English research to the amusement ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040086 of Suzanne. The digging resumed ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040087 ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040088 ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040089 ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040090 and we made a sign ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040091 warning people away from our masterpiece. ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040092 It was time for regrouping ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040093 The digging continued beyond the pier ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040094 ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040095 and back ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040100 ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040103 ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040104 ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040106 ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040107 ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040109 ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040110 ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040111 leading to good treasures ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040096 ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040097 ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040098 ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040101 ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040102 that were enjoyed by all ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040099 as the conch ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040105 dried up and we got ready to put the sea rice ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040108 back home.

The next excursion began a little later ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040112 as we made our way to Hoy's ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040113 where we took our obligatory phone booth picture ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040114 and worried about poor Joe. ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040115 Suzanne modeled for us ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040116 in Hoy's and we left to see this fine ad ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040117 for tutoring.

The only thing better than Benjamin's dinner ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040118 were these crayons ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040119 ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040120 he won at the arcade much to the delight of the neighbors. ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040121 The meal was exquisite with mozzarella, basil and tomatoes, ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040122 roasted vegetables, ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040123 zucchini rice, ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040124 asparagus rice, ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040125 and leftover fish. ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040126

Sadly it was departure time, so Caroline ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040127 took the first picture ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040128 followed by Suzanne. ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040129 This is (more or less) ../../../Sabbat/07.04.01Avalon//P7040130 what they saw.
