some last beach photos

As is the story of late, shoulda woulda —da da —nevertheless, To keep the record somewhat straight,  as part of beach week we enjoyed the USS North Carolina despite the inoperable antiaircraft gun.

the steps were plentiful 

portholes and gun turrets great for crawling into and out of - and lots of 'em too.

Meal prep time was not always this full of helpers, but on occasion Patt could assemble an army.

 and they did work well and do real stuff too.  Patt just stays cool and calm, and lets them go.  The little two need some calming down - understatement - on occasion but the big three can get stuff done.

and the nine of us can eat some groceries.

the Wheel House, looks like the Wheel House

Windy day

all of us

the game really was organized, just looks like it was not.

Luke was excited with his teammate - me!  There is no joy in Mudville like the joy of a lucky streak in Noply for Luke and we were on one for a while.
