Small Change: Beans, Beach, and Birds

A couple of mornings ago, D offered baked beans to LG for breakfast (yes, that is normal here). Well, for good or for bad, LG loved the idea of beans for breakfast, and she has refused to eat anything but beans for breakfast since then. She is snubbing her nose at yogurt, cereal, but not fruit, thankfully. In fact, she has rediscovered bananas!!!! Yeah! She hasn't eaten those in months!

Even though it was a rainy morning, B, LG, and I all headed out to the beach to have a little Sunday service. Thankfully, the rain stopped by the time we got to the local beach. Sadly, this beach was a regular old beach with sand, and LG was not very impressed. She preferred to climb all over the rocks. So, we didn't get to sit as a family and read scripture, but B and I both took turns watching the little rock climber, so we could each read a bit on our own.

On the way home, right as we were almost to the house, it started raining buckets! B picked up LG, and we all ran, ran, ran! W saw us from inside the house, and he opened the door and rushed out to see if we were ok. He thought something horrible had happened. :) No. We just didn't want to get any more wet than we were. LG thought the running in the rain was wonderful, and she laughed, and laughed, and laughed. She was not pleased to have to come indoors.

Later, after lunch and after the rain was gone for good, we all decided to go into town and feed the birds the stale bread we had on hand. LG watched with fascination and trepidation at the amazing amount of birds that flocked to W with the bread. I think we all felt the same. :)

After feeding the birds, we walked around town and enjoyed the buskers (street performers). LG loves music, and she was not happy when it was time to move away from the street musicians. She did have a good time walking around and looking at everything, though.
