We had enough gas IMG_1224 but still had to pay the toll IMG_1225 as we headed to the beach where Benjamin was a bit shy IMG_1226 so Sarah shielded him from Sally IMG_1227 Byron IMG_1228 Myrtis IMG_1229 and Robert IMG_1230 who were clearly having a good time IMG_1231 while the food IMG_1232 was being served IMG_1233 to an appreciative group.

The next day (probably as a result of the visit to the beach), the couches came. John and Sarah modeled the left one IMG_1234 and after the group shot IMG_1235 Benjamin modeled the right one IMG_1236 and then everyone was happy IMG_1237 even Benjamin in the upstairs couch IMG_1238 as he tried to escape before the final picture was taken IMG_1239 but he didn't make it!
