A New Tradition?

Today was perfection. We got to hang out with my four favorite unschooling families at the ocean (and it was WARM!). The children built and floated rafts, built bridges, dug holes, laid in the sand, ate lots of food, SWAM! and us mama's got to talk and admire each others (and our own) children. It could not have been a more perfect day and it did my heart good. Seems this may become a regular spring/summer/fall meeting of like-minded families and I couldn't be happier!

The bedtime story tonight was quite fitting as it took place on an ocean and on shore... Amos & Boris by William Steig. A sweet but sort of sad story of the friendship between a mouse and whale - both mammals (they are delighted to discover) and both holding the knowledge of what it means to be a true friend.
