I'm going to try to keep up the blog again. At least for the next few months. We'll see how this goes!
Today is Emily's birthday and I shall be blogging that very soon, Lord willing. (I don't have anything to blog from that yet, though. :P)
For now...I'll just start blogging from last Friday when I went down to the beach with the Kings. It was one of the best days and it'd been a long time since I'd been to the beach. I was very thankful that they invited me and enjoyed every minute of the trip. :)
I don't seem to have too much more to say...so onto pictures we go! (And I am now using Oscar the iPhone instead of PJ=RIP.)

Headed down...we crossed over a bridge of some kind. It was cool. It was an hour and a half to two hour ride, I think...I wasn't paying much attention to the time. :P |

"Dost thou dare take my photograph without first offering to pay a royalty?"
(Yeah...sorry...but doesn't that look like what he's thinking? :P ) |

*laughs* it was...48 degrees I believe and, as you can see, Hannah is all ready to go play at the beach. :P |

The kids played Frisbee and I don't know how that worked with ALL that wind. (Awesome wind.) |

Makes me think of one of my favorite songs ever... |

Some of the crew made sand castles and things. Benjamin "made his face" by building up a mound and planting his face in it, then pulling it out to make his faceprint. I thought I had a picture of that! His whole face was covered in sand. :P Isaac was very meticulous about his creation, but I never saw what he was making... |

Eli and I really enjoyed getting to spend time together. |

I love the water...so pretty. |

And a picture of all of us except Eli...you can't see him, but he's there...behind the camera. |

After we went to the beach and drove around a bit, we went to lunch. I told Mom that I would bring her back a shark from the beach, but this was the best I could do and they wouldn't let me take him home for her. :( Sorry Mommy. :( Some of us had started coming up with names for him...but we never decided. I suppose we'll have to go with Oscar. |

Yeah...I'm doing it again. Taking pictures without warning. Most rude, I know...most Childish. |

But, as you can see, he got so angry that I just had to stop... :P |

I could make a comment right now, Noah. :P |
And I really should have taken more pictures...but I was distracted and enjoying myself too much to spend any time using electronics except to send a "sit-rep" text to mother dearest every now and then, of course. :P
It was such a beautiful day and I'm really thankful that I got to go and spend some time with the Kings and build such beautiful memories. :)
Until later! Y'all keep smiling and shining for Christ. :)
Over and out...
Anna
Anna! *tackles* it's so good to hear from you!
ReplyDeleteHey Livvy. :) Been a while, hasn't it? ;)
DeleteAnna,
ReplyDeleteIt was a beautiful day! It was just perfect with you there too and we are so glad you came. I'm going to start a campaign for a repeat trip this summer. We might have to get creative though on where we go, or just buy blinders for everyone :)
You got some great shots - I love the two you got of Eli in the restaurant. And, I did hear of the demise of PJ a while back. So sorry :( But Oscar seems to be doing just great for you.
Looking forward to seeing more on your blog.
It was such a wonderful time and went way too fast!
DeleteI'd happily join in that campaign! :) And blinders is an excellent idea lol.
I love those two also. :) Yes...Oscar is doing a wonderful job. :)
That day was the best :)
ReplyDeleteIt really...really was. :)
DeleteHey, Anna, good post! Your photo of the water is so gorgeous...it's like got this dreamy shimmer!
ReplyDeleteLove, Katie
Oh, that's weird.
ReplyDeleteMy family used to stay on that very beach. XD
