At the beach. Had a great 4th. Clambake. Many good friends. Kian, my wonderful friend, fellow blogger and chef from Red Cook staged a crazy whopper of a clam bake on the beach. Children played in the sand. Toes in the water. Horseshoe crabs washing up on shore. Everyone ate lobster. Clams. Shrimp. Blue crab. Butter. And more butter. There was rain. A mad dash for the indoors. Thunder. Cats rolling the barrels in the sky. Kisses, some tiny. Some sexy. Laughter. Bellies full. Empty wine bottles. Dreams of castles and mermaids for the little ones. Memories. And lots of 'em.
Now doesn't that just look idyllic? And here I was stuck in Jersey City, trying to have a bbq which the rain kept interrupting..Though we did get to see fireworks!

ReplyDeleteMan, lobsters, clams, crabs at the beach. I am insanely jealous.
That looks fab - good weather, good friends, family and great food - who could ask for more??
ReplyDeleteI love those family days. Love the tutu! We dont get lobster here, we get something similar called crayfish it justs doesnt have the huge pinchers.
ReplyDeleteAh-ha - I see topless does not wear off after age three. So noted. Our tutu is purple, is that okay?
ReplyDeleteI asked in my blog earlier because the boo boo la la likes to be NAKED! No matter where she is.
