Transfixed

When they had finished soaking themselves to the bone and covering themselves in sand (The Banana STILL has sand inside her ears. She lays down and rolls like a puppy but doesn’t shake herself out.)  They did some people watching.  There are always unusual people at the sand beach whenever we are there, it seems, which leads my children to become transfixed.  They stare at families and teenagers acting so foreign.  And I don’t really curb the staring much, because if people act that way, they probably deserve to be stared at.  I do try to distract my trio of innocent eyes from the worst of things, though.  

In this picture, however, they aren’t staring at people on the beach at all, but rather at several people canoeing in the water off the beach, and behind them a few rogue jetskiis that are not the norm on Lake Superior. But they day was hot, and the water perfectly calm , and there the jetskiis were.
