In the afternoon, we convinced the boys that they needed to come out with us (and give Grandpa a rest from basement and babysitting). We went to a beach and a playground and then walked out on the pier with all of the substance-abusing fishermen to see the lovely sunset.
Three beautiful children having a great break from the snow while they play at Shorebird park at the marina.
This is Maddie at the beach; we told the kids we were going to find sea glass. Now I know, you all have your own favorite beaches, and favorite sources for sea glass -- picturesque places called Sea Glass Beach with a little bistro just off to the side. But believe me, if you want to find sea glass, this is the place. It's ugly, it's filthy, and it's full of sea glass. This is because it's directly behind Golden Gate Fields (the racetrack) where lots of fortunes are lost, and lots of dreams and glass bottles are broken. Even Sebastian was able to bring home a bag full of the stuff. I think that he and I found the best piece of the day: a cobalt sea glass marble. The kids enjoyed themselves, because it's like an easter egg hunt on the beach. The bad news is that we left the box full of their sea glass on the back porch at Grandma and Grandpa's house, so we'll have to wait for a few months to get it.
