Summertime with the children Part I

We picked up all our little and not so little "chicks" from their various camps, and headed for the English Channel for a week at the beach.

Our big, strong dam diggers.

Friends that managed to find us!

Nathan turned 12 on vacation.

Mussel hunting or is it collecting? The picture is misleading. Most of those mussels are too small to harvest.

Mussel eating!

Sunbathing.

Sleeping. The cottage only sleeps 5 so the boys roughed it. Wesley would say it was

the best part of the trip. He couldn't wait to get to bed each night.

Peter contemplative.

One of Mélanie's friends joined us for a couple of days.

Notice the white cliffs, no it's not Dover!

We are on the French side of the English Channel!

I just thought the train station at Abbeville was too cute not to include!
