The Seagull Saga

Tuesday night, we "took" my dad out for Father's Day. He loves the beach - Sean has called him "Grandpa Beach" for most of his life - and doesn't get to go very often anymore. So we had some fun times. Here's our night in pictures:




Sean feeds the seagulls(P.S. we actually had to make a stop at the gas station for "seagull food" (Ritz) since we forgot our stale bread. These birds live high on the trough!):



The seagulls love it!


Sean's not so sure about it!Dad feeds the seagulls:The seagulls thank him!Yep! For the first time in all of his days of feeding the varmints, they finally got him! He says they barely missed his mouth...yuck! As a protest, he put away the Ritz. I'm thinking they'll be a nice addition to his next casserole or party plate, but I'm pretty sure he won't share again anytime soon! Oh, what good times!



Here are some pics of the water. The water temp was 70 degrees - pretty good for early summer in Michigan!


Sophie didn't really care that the water was so pleasantly warm! She was pretty scared by all the noise of the waves, I think. She didn't much care for the sand, either, but hopefully she'll grow to love it - how can she NOT love the beach?!?

She's better when someone's holding her!
We tried to write "Grandpa" but the waves kept washing it away down low, and up high it just didn't look cool. Maybe next time when tide's out...
