Taking The Day Off...

We've been going at a pretty steady pace around here...with school still going, Brad mowing grass,

painting projects...gardening...soooo we headed for a day at the beach! :)

It was a little impromptu-but, we heard that the weather was going to be gorgeous (and it was!)

We even had the added blessing of having two dear friends join us--but had such a lovely time of fellowship that we forgot to get a picture of them! Sorry guys! But we really were so happy you came!

Brad got right to work doing his usual sandcastle type stuff

Bri was looking for interesting shells and other finds

Having fun

Not a lot of shells, but some pretty stones though!

This poor horseshoe crab was having a tough time

So Brad lent him a hand

He had all these mussels on his back...hitching a ride!

The beach and boardwalk had taken a hit from the Nor'easters

You can see the newly planted grass on the dunes

We practically had the beach to ourselves

It was a lovely day!

And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

Genesis 1:10
