The next day, Ben was first up
and we made our way past the bench
and sign
along the way
to sit at the beach
as a few tried the water
and Suzanne
admired the seaweed Jane brought back
ad Ben
paid attention
and we pondered digging at water's edge
until Ben
and Jane and John
admired the overhead sign
and as Jane and John watched
I recorded the people passing by
as the hole being dug by Jane, Ben et al
continued to grow and the lifeguards watched
as the diggers continued
|
as a passerby
kept them going
to the amusement of Suzanne
as I took this self portrait
and Jane, Ben and the Szabo's finished their digging project
so that after a few spurious shots
Jane, Ben, Lucy and the Szabos were ready to group
for group shots of Jane, Ben, Lucy and the Szabos
paused by a passerby
before more shots of Jane, Lucy and the Szabos
a self portrait
some rising work at the beach
and then pictures of Lucy, Szabos and Jane holding Ben
which would be practice for what came later after the car arrived
Ben played cards
and Sarah and Joyce watched
while Suzanne cooked
and I looked at my feet
even as Lucy, Jane and the Szabos gathered for more shots
Suzanne prepared in the kitchen
Ben played on the floor
and magically food arrived
from the refrigirator
for a lunch
fit for a solitaire game
and preparatory to a dinner
|
with clean feet
and drink
and good conversation
and games afterwards
which made Ben
and Lucy happy
as the new game was unveiled
and Suzanne
Joyce and
I
watched television
