After the birthday party (you know, after the maddening crowds had gone, whew)
Mal and I hit the beach. SHE WAS NUTS. All that sugur and good company BURST
out of her and she ran around like a sandpiper, dancing in the waves.

Mal's new doll from mormor came with us. Her name is Anolie.

Malaren and Anolie gathered all kinds of treasure from the beach and made a
little house (bordered in rope that floated in).

We also found a jelly fish and put it in a shell for Anolie.
"Jelly on the Half-Shelly" was quite delicious.

We also found a bundle of sticks that had been rolled up in seaweed and covered
in barnicles. We roped it up and play Captive Princess in the Tower.

When it as time to go, Mal returned all our gifts to the sea. She's so mystic.

Then, on the way home...
A TERRIBLE THING HAPPENED!!!
I stopped by to take a photo of this interesting house. But little did I know...

A monster lived there! ARGH!!!

Many thanks to Bonnie, Sophia, and Medora for "screaming" at the "sight" of the
fearsome monster. And many thanks to the local wacko who built a home that
looks like a Star Wars Stormtrooper.
