A Sunny Day on Lido

Last weekend we headed down to Lido Island in Newport to let Elizabeth play in the sand and to get a bite to eat. Too bad for Elizabeth that we left too late in the day for her to get her fair amount of time in at the playground. She really didn't want to leave when we dragged her away...

Take a look in the left hand corner of this photo and you will see Marty on the bench. I joked with him that this is his version of playing with Elizabeth at the park!!! Truth is that he and Elizabeth are pretty tight playground buddies and while Marty does take advantage of shade and a seat when he can, he does his fair amount of chasing her all around the playground.













Elizabeth was fascinated with using her hands to pour the sand into the drain and spent a fair amount of time engaged in this activity. She was none too happy when we took her away from her self appointed job of sand removal. One of these days those skills might come in useful around the yard.
