after streaming live video feed throughout the week, gazing at the ocean swells virtually right in our living room, we finally made it out today to the east coast's big surfing event. the contest actually wrapped up on friday but there was still a bit of the festival set up for the weekend. with this being the time of year where everyone around here seems to be holding on tightly to every last bit of warmth and sun... wishing in some way for their own personal endless summer, we thought this seemed like an excellent place to spend the day. and it was. margaret easily got down with the feather and beads braiding craft that we stumbled across... a giant pink promotional beach ball sparked a friendly 1-v-1 sand soccer game between chuck and margaret... and i even found some time to just be on the blanket with my double pointed needles and a few balls of yarn... some time to be right there... next to the waves of the incoming tide. nice.
