Trevan, Splish-splashing


This is a picture from a few weeks ago... Love how Trevan wrinkles up his face, snorts and giggles. He loves the water and would crawl into the ocean if we let him.

Another drizzly day. We all swam for awhile in the indoor pool, and shopped downtown Long Beach. Mac picked up a toy school bus. "Mommy, can I buy this?" "Nine bucks," she answered, "do you have the money for it?" Mac puzzled for a half-second, "Can I borrow your purse for a minute?"

We had dinner at the Shelburne Inn. We stayed there about ten years ago when we first moved to the Northwest. The attached restaurant used to be the Shoalwater; Pauline and I enjoyed the food so much we've been back many times, but the owners apparently sold it to the Inn. The innkeeper's son was one of the chefs, and he has remained. They started quietly serving last Saturday, and opened to the public last night. The menu was a little smaller, but still had plenty of choices. For an appetizer we had the tuna tartar with a tasty soy sauce and wasabi vinaigrette; quiet good. I had the shrimp fettuccine, Pauline had crab cakes, and they prepared a special linguine dish with American cheese for Mac, (Trevan munched on pieces of bread with formula.) The boys were relatively well behaved, but as the squirm rate rose, we decided to leave while people still thought they were cute: we skipped dessert.
