After catching four-year-old Ryan with his third stolen cookie of the afternoon I really needed to take a quiet walk away from our family picnic on the beach…
He was ready for me to leave too and I can still hear him say “I’ve got this beach figured out mom, take a hike.”
Grandpa went out to the boat with his book.
While John and I went around to the opposite side of the island leaving Ryan skipping rocks with my brother.
I should have known better. Walking back to our picnic site I heard a slightly worried voice saying “don’t tell your mom, ok?”

You must live in one of the most beautiful parts of our country! Beautiful photos.
Uncles, grandparents and the like get to spoil the children – and let them do things Mom and Dad would never do. It makes them fun and beloved, and it is only once in a while. My daughter always leaves me a list, which she expects me to follow; but, I am not Mom. My grandparents always let me have extra cookies, ice cream, candy – it endeared them to me when I was a child 🙂

I think we live in a pretty special place and am happy to hear you like my photos. 🙂 I started this blog so I could share my view of the area with people who may not get a chance to visit and see for themselves. Yes, grandparents definitely get a pass when it comes to spoiling with treats, and in our family Uncles spoil with adventures!

Uncles are always the most fun. I have fond memories of two of my uncles. Uncle Charlie took me fishing and my Uncle Al who loved to tinker. A couple of weeks ago I took my college aged nephew for a ride in my PT Cruiser GT and scared him pretty good…both hands gripping the hand hold.
