LAND LUBBERS...
Let me just go on record by stating, "Can I live here forever? I want to stay at the beach everyday!" Mom will second that motion. A weekend was just not long enough. We were surrounded by family and living each and every moment to the fullest. Romping on the beach 3 times a day is my idea of living! I will admit, the mosquitoes devoured me. I was left with knots, welts and all kinds of itch, but it was nothing that a prescription cream and a few bandaids could not handle. We were a sickly bunch, but the beach just brings out the goodness in you. Cough, fever, snot, who cares? Salt water will heal you right up. Or at least we thought we would give it a try--and try we did. We jam packed our days and our nights with lots of beach time--play time that is. We tried out all of the 30 something sand toys and fished for whatever we could find in the ocean. It was amazing! You could see your feet...no more brown water. The sand was super soft and the water was clear out to waist deep. We surfed and then we turfed and then we just passed out! I am sure the crabs are feeling a since of calm now that we are home again, but we sure did have fun running down the beach with a bucket in one hand and a flashlight in the other. 30's and 3's, 50's and more were all drawn to the beach for the evening crab hunting affair. There were big ones and little ones and really fast ones too! AGHHHHH! They will pinch your little fingers off you know.
Whether we were on the beach or on deck swinging to the sounds of the ocean waves, we were family and enjoying every minute. Even those "put up your dukes, that's mine moments" made the beach trip real and loads of fun.


Happy Birthday Aunt Kaci...Celebrating Sweet 16 on the beach sounds good to me!
