another silly picture on the pier.

at the end of the pier there is a pilon that anyone can write on.  ledger took the opportunity to draw a silly face.  i, of course, drew nibble bob...

enjoying the pier.

back on the beach.

the thing ledger was most looking forward to was being buried in the sand.  he then asked me to draw a new body for him on the sand.  i decided to go with a skateboarder...
