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
