The bird flies off with the fish
to eat it, or to feed it to the baby pelicans. That's a little adventure for
Suzanne and Roger.
There are also big adventures. Those happen when Suzanne and Roger
and their mom and dad go sailing. Sailing often takes them far out to
where the islands meet the sea. There they hike and explore the hills,
and at night, sleep in a tent ashore or in bunks on the sailboat. Those
are real adventures and we'll be talking about them soon.

I was thinking of Suzanne and Roger this morning and wondered what
they were doing. I pictured them on the beach in the bright sunlight,
walking toward where sand dunes had been built up by the wind and
waves.
The dunes slope down to the beach, and tall reeds grow on the sides and
along its ridges. When the wind blows, the reeds lean far over and
rustle.
Birds build nests among the reeds. Sometimes, small animals rush up
or down the dunes and through the reeds on their way from here to
there, or from there to here. The dunes are among Suzanne's and
Roger's favorite places for exploring.
I walked to the beach.
