This is my idea of a vacation. Sitting by the pool and watching the kids at the beach. Who could ask for more.
We spent the day at the beach. It was wonderfully warm and the kids were so delighted to be outside in nice weather for a change. It was a perfect 85 Degrees. What more can you ask for.
We bought Brandon and Brittany boogie boards and all the kids had such a grand time playing on the beach and running up to our pool. It really is the best of both worlds when you go down six steps from your pool and you are on the sand and beach.
Brandon decided he wants to move to California so he can become a surfer. He just can't get enough of those waves. We told him he will just have to come here on vaction alot because we are not moving back.
Memories Of The Beach
We went to the beach to get wind in our hair
to stand on the sand and simply to stare.
To let the surf tickle toes and dampen our clothes
as we played 'run away'
from the wavelets at play.
We went to the beach to climb on the rocks
find cool shallow pools where we'd take off our socks,
and peer in the waters to see what we might find
that the waves of the sea,
had last left behind.
We went to the beach to find coloured shells
the kind that when placed to our ears
make the sound of the ocean appear,
and gathered rocks that we never would find
in the places we walked,
for most of the time.
We went to the beach and all that, we did find
and the smell of the salt refreshed our tired minds.
I'll never forget the laughter and sounds
and the freedom to run,
on that wet sandy ground.
We went to the beach my family and I
and there we were one,
with the ocean, the beach, and the sky.
