Son of the Beach

Seriously?  You knew I couldn't pass up that blog title.

Anyways, after an extremely busy week for everyone with work and after work/evening activities, we raced to the weekend.  After Jenny had a morning volunteer project at the church and another round of lawn mowing for me, we decided we were going to head to the beach for an afternoon/evening round of beach fun.

The benefit of the off season on the beach is that it is a gorgeous time to find an almost empty shore line and plenty of beach to play on.  The waves were moving pretty good but that also made for some good fun.  The kids broke out their life jackets and boogie boards and squirt guns for some fun.

The water was great, salty but warm.  The last forecast we saw said the water temperature was around 86 degrees and that was probably pretty accurate.  We were able to find some large...large shells in the water.  Unfortunately, stepping on them was not how I wanted to find them.  But, hoping we can clean them up and make some nice decorations out of them.

And to say the setting sun was a beautiful site to see would be a massive understatement.  Having the moon on one side and the sun setting on the other was awesome.
So all in all, after a way too busy week, it was great to have a peaceful and beautiful day to just relax.  Hopefully everyone gets to enjoy a little bit of the sunshine was saw!
