Iris, Akiva and I hike the trail towards Tadoussac.

Perhaps some year we will hike all the way there.

Witness the strange optical illusion of inverted footprints on sand.

Cars are an important part of any camping trip.

The orange Toyota 4×4 (right) is a favorite. Most parts of it return every year.

 

 

It is one of Martin’s jobs to play with cars on rocks.

 

 

Playing with cars on rocks is always done early in the morning.

While the tide is out, the kids go climbing on an otherwise inaccessible rock.

Akiva has an easy time going up. Iris has less confidence in her grip.

 

 

Akiva demonstrates that, in addition to jumping, he can climb down the way he went up.

 

 

Iris is open to jumpingβ€” if she can get close enough to the ground first.

 

 

Two people up on top.

Iris takes a photo of me resting.

Contrary to typical engineering practices, the best sand-home engineers always build where the next high tide will cause great devastation.
