On the Beach...

Before we left for vacation,

I was stalking the weather channel.

It was forecasted to be mostly cloudy,

with thunderstorms 

and 30-60% chance of rain,

high's only up to 92

(we've been having temps 97-101 at home)

EVERY DAY of vacation.

But the weather turned out to be
PERFECT!

We did have a little rain one afternoon...

lasted long enough for us to come inside...

then it was done! ha!

And it rained the morning we left...

which was the only day 

it was forecasted to be sunny!

Boy, does God have a sense of humor!

Marc got a little toasty one day,

but he turned brown brown brown, of course!

I was a good girl,

used 30 SPF the whole time...

reapplied when I got out of the water!

This was the first beach vacation

 I can recall that I didn't get sunburned!

(Okay, my face got red one day, but I was wearing a hat!)

McLean and Grandma buried Papa...

Then we buried McLean...

I think he liked it!

Our view from our room...

You can see the green at the beach...

that's the seaweed.

It was horrible the first 2 days

(as in, we could pull it from our swimsuits..

.it had the consistency of playdough 

and the color of wasabi!)

But it cleared up and we had 2 1/2 days 

of clear water and clear skies!

The only worry in the world 

was the tide gonna reach my chair!

Ansley liked the beach...loved the waves,

but she preferred the pool.

It took 5 adults to pull off vacation with 2 kids!

Tomorrow...family tradition at the beach!
