Come See Why We Love Our Little Village

How great it is to have friends in town. We are having a blast showing them around our little town. They leave tomorrow and we've done a lot since they got here last week...so today we just kept it low-key here in Whitley Bay.

We're out the door. Destination: Whitley Bay.
Turn right Ollie; it's three blocks to the seafront.

Kara, Emmie, Mike, Merrit, and I walking and bike-riding along the boardwalk
in Whitley Bay. The North Sea is so beautiful!


Only a few weeks of no training wheels and Merrit has gotten really good
at bike riding.




Merrit started out on his bike in the skate park--his FIRST TIME on his bike
out there.  Hello, panic attack. (Me, not him!)
Ollie's FIRST TIME in the skate park. He got knocked down once and we
pulled him out. It was a busy day, so we'll have to bring him back when it's
not so crowded! He did great, though! He did NOT want to come out!

Since he's still new with bike riding, the bike was a little much for Merrit, so
after Ollie was pulled, Merrit went out for a while on the scooter.

All the benches along the sea have plaques to commemorate people. I've never
seen fresh flowers alongside the plaques. Some kind of anniversary. Sweet.

The boys taking a breather. After the skate park, on our way to get ice cream.
Oh my gosh, what a day!

Merrit has the camera. Taking pictures of people.
Ollie!

Jer and Mike!

Kara!

Emmie!
Me!

Then the photographer passed the camera over to me.
Merrit!

Mike had coffee while the boys and I shared a banana split,
and Jer and Kara ate chocolate cake and scones with coffee.

Mike chasing the boys through a flower maze, just beside the Spanish
City (a famous landmark in Whitley Bay). 

Run, Merrit, run!

Run, Ollie! Here comes Daddy!
