One of my favorite summer pastimes as a child was to visit the Hobgood-Palmer Library in Fairburn, GA. The Hobgood-Palmer Library had a distinct smell that I loved, which was probably just the smell of old books. It was always so cold in the library and it felt great after being in the summer heat. Becky and I used to fight over whose turn it was to drop the books in the after hours pull down box. Once you opened the bin to drop the books, a cold draft blew in your face from beneath. Do you remember that Mom and Becky?
Everett turned Kate into a mermaid with the sand.
Kate decided go make a bed with the sand. She covered herself with sand and made a pillow to lounge on.
Kate is pretending to call Nanny and is telling her all about the beach.
She watched "The Little Mermaid" on the way for Florida. She was quite concerned about the little fish swimming away from the shark. She asked over and over and over where the sharks were in the ocean. We assured her we would not see a shark and we would not let one get her.
She LOVED the water splashing on her.
Aunt Becky gave Kate ice cream money, so after spending the morning at the beach we went to the town square for ice cream.
