Back at the Beach

And just 4 days after leaving, we were back at the beach again...in time to catch the tail end of sunset on Friday night. Yay for summer! Eli was ready to celebrate the end of kindergarten and welcome summer with a trip to the beach. We hope to make this a regular thing. I'm getting really good at packing us up in a short amount of time and just a few bags.

We did what we could to keep the boys on the beach as much as we could each day. Though the forecast called for a significant chance of rain, we saw none....some cloud cover, but definitely no rain. The weather was perfect.

My parents joined us for a quick 24 hour stay. It is worth it when it means 24 hours in paradise! 

A post-dinner-sunset tradition is beginning. An ice cream treat and beach time after dinner. It has cooled off, no sunscreen needed, the scenery couldn't be better or more gorgeous, and the boys have a blast. 

Do you see the frisbee Jude is about to catch?

The coquina shells were out of control and everywhere. So very cool.


Couldn't help but think of REM's "Nightswimming" as I watched the biggest boys swim and take on the waves while Jude and I took it easy.


A perfect way to wear out two tireless boys. This is what tired looks like:


We poured them into bed after baths, jammies, and books.

Sunday, they were back at it again....and then it was time to pack it up and pack it in. We know it won't be long until we are back again, so it is not too hard to say good bye. 


Feeling blessed.
