How do you feel about puzzles? I have this love/hate relationship with them. I'm certainly up for the challenge of putting one together, but once I get sucked into placing those tiny little pieces, I can't seem to walk away!
Every year we bring a couple down to the beach to "cooperatively" work on. I let my granddaughter pick the puzzle of choice, and she and my grandson sat down and helped me to pick out the edge pieces, which really didn't take all that long.
Well.....if you consider a day or two a long time.
And, it did appear that someone had sorted through pieces in an attempt to help. But this particular puzzle was a real doozy to put together, and despite my urging others to lend a hand, I found myself alone at the table, attempting to find pieces that fit when I should have been sleeping......or writing a blog. but no worries, I never put the puzzle ahead of playing with little ones!
Finally, yesterday afternoon....I finished the puzzle! There were no woo hoo celebrations here from anyone, so this is my pat on the back.
It sure looks pretty, doesn't it?
So much for that. Onto other adventures of the day.
Snacks at the beach
Finn posing like a water fountain. (Look closely and you can see the stream of water spurting up towards the sky).
Dolphins (look closely and you can see the fin)
Great boogey boarding
A giant duck....it seemed to be there primarily for a photo op
fishing ( I do believe that there were two croakers a couple mullets in the fish count.)
Baby transport
Cards
Snuggles
Balloons
and some very entertaining selfies
And those adventures certainly are a win-win for me!
