The Mayor left work a little bit early and took the hobbitlings somewhere to celebrate Ela's birthday. That place turned out to be Golden Gardens and it was a lovely afternoon of fun in the sun at the beach.
Here are some pictures of our beautiful princess at the beach.
Searching for beauty in the sand.

Exclaiming, "Look at how beautiful this is!"
We played at a stream that comes down across the beach, including "Poo Sticks" (a game that Winnie the Pooh invented).
We also played around the stream for a long while, redirecting the channel for the stream and then watching the stream meander across the beach.Ela picked a bunch of daisies and put them in a beautiful shell.
