A timely escape

When your friends call and ask if you can play, you say "yes". Because you would rather play than deal with the 5 alarm mess that has been growing in your house.
When your friends call and ask if you can play, you say "yes". Because you would rather play than finish painting your computer room--which is why your house looks like a bomb went off in it because everything in that room is now somewhere else in your house.
When your friends call and ask if you can play, you say "yes." Because you would rather play than try and find your computer (that is hiding under a red sheet in the middle of the computer room trying not to get paint on it) and update your blog, even though you have used your camera as you have promised you would.

Yes, when your friends call and ask if you can play, you say "yes, yes, and triple yes."

Because you would rather go to the beach and explore the tide pools...



...and be the first to make your mark in the clean slate of sand...


...and display your killer artistry talent for all to see... 
(if you knew this girl, you'd know she is one amazing artist!)



...and kick off your shoes to feel the sand in between your toes...


...and make sea bush brooms and beg to take them home...


...and pose for your mom for TWO seconds, so she could catch the most beautiful picture of the day.


Now seriously, my friend, could you blame me for saying "yes"? 

p.s. Seriously, he gave me two seconds. Doesn't it look like we were on some amazing family photo shoot? I'm tellin' you--sometimes the best pictures are the ones you spontaneously grab. And with him, they have to be spontaneous. He doesn't give me much else.
