Beach Outing

Since we discovered Caddy's on the Beach on Treasure Island, it makes going to the beach a lot easier. We buy our meal (on this trip- breakfast) eat, and talk, and then lie in the sun on their loungers and chairs. What could be easier! We usually go early before it gets crowded so we get a good spot and have the beach to ourselves. The water was great- calm, cool, and no seaweed! We like to spend the summer holidays at the beach as a family!

Family Fun

Our visit with Melanie and the boys could not have been more fun!
Okay, maybe a little less rain. But we stayed busy with family
cookouts, ice cream parties, trips to swimming pools and local
parks, and an indoor mall. And Target. Although the boys were NOT
interested in sleeping much, they were up for anything else-
especially the toy closet and eating everything in sight.

On Saturday we drove to Jacksonville to see the Lewis cousins. It was a special birthday celebration for Dawn and Rose. Everyone had a blast! Lots of babies to cuddle, presents to open, food to eat, and family to visit with. Melanie and the boys stayed to visit longer and I left to drive back home. Know she is having fun seeing all her family and friends before she flies back to Nebraska at the end of the week.

Glad you were able to come, Mel! Miss you already!
