As we set off down the path at Greenwich this afternoon, Alex and Simon explained to me that when they go here with Daddy, they like to think of the walk in "chapters": First comes the prologue (parking lot to fence). Next comes the hot, dusty path, followed by the forest of strange trees. Then it's the boardwalk over the swamp and past the "hot dog fields", and finally, the chapter that leads one over the dune to the ocean.
Along the way, they decided to "collect" (mentally), the various creatures we encountered. Our collection today included several frogs, the hovering dragon-flies with blue shimmering wings, a grasshopper, two butterflies, a bee, a large, black crow, and an unidentified sea-gull-like bird.
The best photo ops came after the camera battery died; the boys went galloping over the dune bridge and onto the beach... we all lay in the ocean for a long, long time, letting the waves push us to and fro, and marveling at the ocean's majestic strength!
