Thank You Thursday

Rain or Shine Family Time!

Last week the whole gang (minus Mack and Cheryl ) spent a week together. Marci came up with the idea and did all the leg work.  Marci and Mike found a Beach House to rent and everyone saved the date.

We brought games and books but mostly sand and water toys, 
of course... 
(beach, sand, water)
You'd think, right?

Well we did have advanced warning about Hurricane Alex, thanks to our friend Dr.Jim.
We decided to go anyway.  We knew it would be a whirl wind ...  and we had a blast!

Scott and Mike walking back empty handed, a guy on the beach helped them get it back :).

Each family provided an evening meal:
GreatFrog and Grammie - Pulled Pork Sandwiches
Miner's - Marinated Chicken on the Barbie

I'm craving that potato salad right now!

Scott and Kayley were able to come for one night 
 and we celebrated Mike's birthday.

I love the ocean.
Those waves looked a little scarry.
