Beach Bums

We have been so lucky this summer to be able to spend time with our family's. This time we were at New Semerna Beach for a week. Only poor Ben couldn't stay the whole week but he did get a few days out there with us. It was a celebration for Grandmom's 80th birthday and friends who came down to vacation with us.

Mommy and her girl's.

Joanie and Elyce came in Friday night to join us in NSB. It was a gorgeous day on the beach Sunday and the water was so clear. In the late afternoon we put Olivia's swimsuit on and took her down to the beach for just a few minutes. Not that I thought otherwise but she loved the water. She was stomping in the water and played with her little toes in the water.

It was then off to dinner at Garlic to celebrate Grandmom's Birthday and it was delicious. They gave us a lovely table outside under the canopy of trees and twinkle lights. We had many nights of home cooked meals and UNO games. We even were able to get out to Daytona and visit the boardwalk one night. It was convenient that there was a Cold Stone there.

Ben took advantage of being out there and kayaked and fished a bit. He caught a crab and a Lady Fish, although he was trying for shark. I think he just enjoys being able to get out there and do it.

What an amazing week with my family and blessed with beautiful weather the entire time. As the summer comes to an end we only get busier with MANY birthday's, anniversary trip, and a visit to Baltimore.
