toby's travels: trip to the beach

by sven at 1:17 pm

"IT'S REALLY BIG!"

This past week we went for a little overnight vacation at the coast. It was Toby's first time seeing the ocean!

"(...MAYBE A LITTLE too BIG.)"

It rained pretty much the whole time we were there. Toby wasn't big on getting wet (being pretty much a sponge) -- but he did finally venture out of Gretchin's pocket when we got down to the waves.

"AH, THIS IS THE LIFE!"

We had a leisurely time... Making vegetarian corned beef sandwiches (originally intended for St. Patrick's day), crepes filled with asparagus and with strawberries... Lounging on the couch, reading books aloud...

Toby shared a nice cup of tea with me.

(I think he may have been under the impression that it was his own personal hot tub.)

sven, toby, and gretchin

We played a good game of Scrabble.

"I WANT TO PLAY!"

Toby's not very good at Scrabble yet.

Toby's first trip to Pizza Hut

I have a fondness for Pizza Hut when we travel... So on the way home, Gretchin treated us.

Coming back from the salad bar, Toby was hiding behind the water glasses and blew straw wrappers at us.

Silly boy!

I just love Toby and all his wonderful adventures! You really should make a picture book: "Toby or not Toby - The Adventure of a Stitched Softie" I'll take two copies, please :)

Great stuff! Hila, be sure to check out Toby's other adventures, I guess when Gretchin posts his category?

toby has his own category here: http://www.scarletstarstudios.com/blog/archives/toby/

and toby's email address isn't difficult to figure out: toby[at]scarletstarstudios!
