Shore Thing

A weekend at the beach with the Hoffman- Chalaron clan was spent in sheer bliss:

We stayed in a hippie chic type bungalow community where the ocean was 4 steps away

Maper Sand castles Swimmer Holy Seashell American and proud Making that face Elodie going places Samantha in the tunnel

Our daughters exhibited a love for each other (they would hold hands and caress each other without being asked to perform) that makes my heart grow mush

Neko and elodie spent hours (seriosuly) jumping on the trampoline while chanting Ring Around the Rosy (I keep hearing it in my head even days later)

They (by that I mean the two cuties) worshiped the older girls that live in this place (think lanky pre teens that love children - one even named Dora)

Me on the float Pool babe Franck not lovin the melon Waiting station Miniature train All aboard Every moment to be documented Self portrait on mimi train (high from fumes) Carousela Ice cream matcing shirts!

They played Connect Four and did lots of dot painting

The weekend was a shining example of two smart funny (and gorgeous with the best outfits and tushies around) girls getting along, giggling and laughing together.

Tuches V is for? Me happy cause I found the camera The vibe = hippie chic w/ boats A little heavy Purple is her fav color Body Art DIY Pedicure Poka Dot Art Milano Cookie Goodness Face Upon discovering Milano Cookies Going to the Light House (and being cute about it) Holding hands on the way up Caught franck Splutter Blurry with light Chasing bubble dreams Bubble face If you can't catch em, eat em Bubble licker Jump jump jump Ring around the rosie x 1,000,000 Elodie's flag waving Connect four Hammock ride Chips on hammock Dirty feet Bird's eye view Samantha Worshippers Andree in light Peter Self Portrait Samantha the babysitting horse

Weekends like this allow me to stand back and appreciate how lucky I am (oh oh cheese) to have such a super fabulous (if strong willed) daughter, amazing friends that I can be totally me with (by that I mean intense and obsessive), a warm giving husband (give me a back massage please) and a really incredible life.

Thank you Elodie for your friendship to neko and thank your parents for their general awesomeness!
