A Day At The Beach!!

Yesterday we went to the beach, with our friends the Hawes's ... It was one of the nicest days... a bit cloudy with the sun peeking through every once in awhile... with such a wonderful breeze!!! We don't normally stay but a couple of hours, because I'm so fair and burn easily... but yesterday we stayed from 11am until 7pm... which made for a very very very long day...

Rainee, Katie & Ryan had the best time together... they haven't seen each other all summer so it was a real treat!!! The kids had the best time... playing in the water, making sand castles, throwing the frizbee, shell hunting and of course eating, eating, eating!!!

At one point in our the day, Rainee came running over to me with her hands out all excited saying... 'LOOK MOMMY! LOOK MOMMY!' to which she proceeded to hand me a starfish... which was ALIVE... squiggling in my hands... and I proceeded to scream (ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!) and drop on the towl.... Everyone thought my screaming, it was just the funniest thing ever... and she ran off with Steve to get a bucket of water and sand for it... she was soooooo excited!!! Hopping all over the place... saying, 'Look what I found!!! Look what I foun!!!'... it really made her day!!!

Of course I didn't get a photos of either of us holding it, because it all happened so fast... and Steve is just not the picture taker!!! But I did get some pictures of the little guy in the bucket... and lots of pictures from our day... It was the best day...
