Today looked good at the start, so I figured I would get the kids and the dog out for a walk on the beach. It was nice, but summer is definitely behind us. The tide was out, and at Godrevy, it gives you about a quarter mile of extra beach. I was thinking of surfing today, but when we got down there, I am glad I left the board at home. There were only two guys foolish enough to go out into the double overhead high waves, and it didn't look like they were doing too well. I am not sure who had more fun at the beach, the kids or the dog. From October until April, dogs are allowed off leash on the beach so Maggie got a good run in. 
We are slowly coming out of a tough week... Olivia had pink eye (both eyes) and the flu, Laura has a bad flu, Miah has ??? that has her coughing all night and keeping her (and mom and dad) up as well. Lochlan is the man... no problems there. He is still having a lot of fun with school and I think he is pretty excited about reading. He has got quite a slew of phonics sounds under his belt and he is starting to put it all together. 
Although, to be honest, I think if all they did was swimming lessons and P.E. (gym class) he would be just as happy. Other than that, Laura and I finally managed to get out to a real event. They celebrate the battle of Trafalgar here each year with a very formal dinner. Basically, the Brits totally kicked French ass two hundred years ago (33 French ships sunk, zero British) and the Brits are still pretty pleased with themselves about this fact. It was also the battle where Nelson lost his life. Anyways, a very good time. Funny to see the guest of honour smash up a model French ship with his gavel! Take care all. M
