Beautiful View + Creativity

Yesterday (Wednesday), we decided to go to the beach and play while Randall went on his Wednesday Weekly Bike Ride. Here is our view:

What's neat about this part of the beach is that there is a playground within steps of the water

It was very windy but Morgan still managed to cheese for the camera!

Waiting for Daddy to finish with his bike ride, ready to play in the water!

Since this beach trip was a last minute idea, we forgot our beach toys... so what did the kids decide to do???

Yes, those are bottle caps! They found a bunch of caps at the playground and decided to build stuff in the sand using the bottle caps... guess its never too early to teach the kids to keep the environment clean!!!

At last, Randall finished his bike ride and joined the kids in the water for a nice cool down, enjoying the beautiful sunset!!!
We have to get creative with our family time as we tend to get "Island Fever" every once and a while... but we make the most of the beautiful nature all around us... P.S. This is an informal invitation for all of you needing to get away from your part of the world!!!

Any family time is good time. Glad you snuck away for a few minutes... Not only did the children learn about keeping the environment clean, they learned how to build on being creative. Good teaching skills all around, Momma.....

That's awesome! What a great idea, it is good to get out of the house and explore this amazing island! Looks like there wasn't anyone else there...I guess summer is over!

I cannot get over how much Morgan looks like you with her hair cut! Precious. And she looks so grown up! Miss you guys!
(Oh, to have a beach close by...)
