We Have Sunglass-Acceptance!

It's official. Collin has accepted the fact that yes, sunglasses DO work in preventing the sun from burning his retina. You'd think the year of our living here so far, where we've had approximately six hours of cloud cover might've convinced him; but no. Alas, he's been practicing indoor use.

P.J.'s and sunglasses are best pulled of by a two-year-old. Or, a 90-year-old. Most things weird, or incontinent, are best done at either end of the age spectrum, I find.

Anyway, I thought today was a good a day as any to bust out the real use of the sunglasses, so we road tested them at the beach. He was all for it.

Oh yeah, we can comfortably hang out at the beach, in October, in sweatshirts and jeans. Wah-wah to cold. Blech.
Also in October at the beach? 'piders! Well, what Collin thinks are 'piders (aka: Spiders). He is pretty sure he found thousands of them in this little structure. He's making sure I stay away from there because he says they are dangerous.

This is Collin, pondering why he's been sitting still for eighteen whole seconds in a row atop a clearly fun-to-climb rock. Mommy, on the other hand, is thankful for a super fast shutter, and again, thinking, gee, I'm glad this time my camera has a neck strap so it won't fall into this same ocean and get wrecked like the last time I brought a camera here.

Disappointingly, after the gale force winds last night, nothing exciting blew ashore. I thought maybe we'd find the Titanic or something. Nope. We found a couple crabs. That's about it. Collin was amazed. Wheeeee! This is the least steep the walk is. It's also the only part that is paved. Can you guess how much energy he has for the walk back up? Yeah. None. Can you guess how many times he asks to be carried? Can you guess who does NOT get carried?
