To remind us of that summer we had earlier this week

Monday was a beautiful, beautiful day. We had an early lunch and went blueberry picking on the peninsula, then drove a little farther out on the peninsula to Haserot beach. What a great beach day!
Maya and her friend Josie (2.5 years) were sitting together just a little bit away from the grown ups having quite a conversation. It was so funny to listen to them converse....I could only hear a bit here and there because they would stop if we got too close but I did over hear:
Josie, pointing to the water: "Dis a yake, it a yake Maya"
Maya: "I know dat! I know dat yake."
Then I walked around in front of them to take a picture and Maya pointed to me and very matter of factly looked at Josie and said "Dis my mommy."
Then they both gave the fake squinty smile you see in the picture, I guess that is a standard issue 2 year old fake smile!
While we were packing up the blankets and toys all the younger kids were playing duck, duck, goose together. Sort of. Maya just kind of got up and ran around whenever she felt like it.
