This little thing called LOVE!

We Love The Beach!

The kids are good at making tide pools, sandcastles, and finding sea shells. 

                  Levi loves to play in the waves. We have to keep a extra special watch on him.

One of our favorite things to do out here is to go to Florida and go to the beach. It is about a 2 hour drive from here in Alabama. We pack a lunch and try to leave by 9am. We usually would go with friends and then go to dinner on the way home but this time we decided to do a cookout at the beach. We took hamburgers and hot dogs and a salad and some chips. It was a lot of fun. The kids have gotten good at finding good sea shells. Hurricane Isaac just left and it had washed puffer fish and lots of sea weed on shore. Usually after a storm like that we see a lot of jelly fish. Not this time. A couple of times we haves seen some dolphins swimming off shore. As we play in the ocean you can see the little fish nibbling at your feet. Daniel has stepped on a crab or 2. They just run a way. Often there is a sand bar that we swim out to and play on. I can safely say that we are definitely a beach family. We love the sound of the ocean and the whiteness of the sand, and the blue of the ocean. We love coming out here but man it makes for a long day. I love these memories with our family. They are awesome and I hope someday our kids will remember all we did together.
