The first chance I got to take a few moments away from the never ending bills, job searches, and cleaning...I took the kids to see Hampton beach in the winter. The snow covered sand, and frigid sea breeze were worth the numb fingers. We fed dive bombing gulls, and pigeons a selection of breads from Fantini's Bakery. The gull pictured above was the first one on the scene, and managed to get away with two full mini bagels in his mouth before the entirety of his flock descended.
After we finished feeding the birds nearly 6 bags of various types of bread, the girls hunted down a small bag of sea shells, and sea salt smoothed rocks. It was fun...that was until we got a whiff of the bag in the morning. I had nearly forgotten the smell that emanates from a tightly sealed bag of shells. It was nauseating. So of course I had to share that odor with the girls. The look in their faces when the took in the aroma was priceless.
