On The Beach!

The smoke from the nearby forest fire finally dissipated enough to allow Tricia and I to go out to the beach (which is like a mile from my parents' house) for a few minutes a few evenings ago...



Meka loves the beach almost as much as we do...she enjoys eating sand more than we do...


Hopefully Gwyneth can come with us next time!

    You mentioned the distance...did you guys walk there?

    My son is saying "bye dog", do you think that is a hint to say "enough blogging mommy!!"

    okay, if you are going to post pictures of the BEACH...I'm gonna stop praying for you. Okay not really, just got a bunch of (godly) jealousy going on. I LOVE the sand and water! You are very blessed to live so close....God sure does paint some beautiful pictures on beaches.

    always praying

    The bottom picture of Meka looks like it belongs on a card or poster. Too cute!

    Well, up here dogs eat snow - so why am I suprised that dogs living near a beach would eat sand??

    Great pictures!
    Happy Monday!

    Still praying for you and your beautiful family here from L'burg.
    The guitar is fantastic, you both look beautiful and Meka is still puggylicious. I hope you post a vid of you playing soon. My prayer is still to see you all here at Gwyneth's grad. I will be 70 then, and hopefully less tiresome. Your faith inspires me, and your family is very cool. I'm a fan.

    Nothing better for the soul than time at the beach! (well unless you get to catch a surf).Knowing how theraputic it is for my family I can only imagine what a blessing it is for the two of you to do the same. Awesome!
    Have a great Monday!

    "Meka enjoys eating sand more than we do"... do you eat sand? Perhaps you should reconsider that addition to your diet :)

    Glad you were able to get to the beach. It looks wonderful. I'm assuming the Atlantic water over there is a bit warmer than the cold Pacific water over here on the west coast.

    That is Great!! You both have been waiting to hit the beach and you finally did. I hope you guys had a good time and enjoyed every second!!! Love the pictures, cant wait to see when you bring Gwyneth.

    By the way I don't know how healthy that is for Meka to be eating sand! :)

    Have a great week!!!

    Glad you got to enjoy the beach! We love being able to go here, though it is more like a 10 min drive rather than 1 mile away!

    The smoke has been quite bad lately, hasn't it? It was really horrible yesterday, but thankfully the thunderstorm cleared it for the night. My husband says it is quite bad over in Chesapeake today though. :-(

    What's wrong with you guys... you haven't acquired the taste for sand yet? My 11 month old tells me it's good stuff!!
