Too cold to swim – np.   There is always something to play with at CasaV.

I was getting ready to CraigsList the boat, but it holds enough air that it should be good for 30 min in calm water.   G is growing into all of Byron’s kids’ hand-me-downs.

over the last month, G had grown increasingly attached to her bike-as-a-tool, carrying it over things and up things and through sand and swinging it about and pushing it up hills just to ride back down them.   The bike and you, on a journey, attached at the hip…I’m so proud of her.     She has a lot less fear of gravity than me, did these hills a couple times each.   I should have made her wear a helmet, and the training wheels are messing with her and making her lean outside on turns.   Come to think of it, these vids are kinda terrifying, except for how much fun she is having.

that kid runs me over on her bike, and all you give me is a turkey neck?

Sand castles followed by a fierce mudball battle.   Then G went for a 10 minute jog with me, running up and down the beach without fatigue, like a kenyan.

these were going on CL too after gathering dust for 4 years.   The conversation went like this:

G: Hey what’s that?
Me: what?
G: those horseshoes
Me: that’s something I’m not selling on CraigsList.
