Yesterday was pretty much the perfect day. I took a dozen children (11 of mine and one friend) to the ocean We set up camp in our not-very-well-known bit of beach. We played the day away with friends. We came home to a clean house and dinner in the crockpot. I didn’t have to deal with one discipline issue the whole day. Yup, it was pretty much perfect. Here are a few of my favorite images from the 100+ photos I took yesterday.

{And keep your eyes open for my upcoming post on how I keep up with the thousands of photos I take each year!}

Kalina- my little mermaid. Does she look the part or what?

The kids building a hot tub.

Who doesn’t love a Hezzy?

New feats of bravery were accomplished.

Adalia modeling the latest in mermaid fashion.

Everett. Isn’t he cute?

Devon seems to have lost her head…

Mordecai caught these fish with a tiny net! One bit his finger, leaving two little teeth marks!

Lunch on the beach.

And if you haven’t already done so, please check out my new blog: Have G-Tube Will Travel and share, share, share.  I am trying to share as many images of people tube feeding as possible. Awareness how the power to normalize tube-feeding and take away the stigma. I hope Apollo never needs to feel embarrassed about his way of eating.
