The Beach!!!!

I thought we'd start our blog with Bailey's favorite place to go. THE BEACH!!! We had so much fun this week. (June 27-July 1) We played on the beach, rode on the Rhino, and caught crab with our new flashlights. The first night Cissy and I went to the grocery store for all the goodies. Ethan made his famous gumbo and even Kara liked it. :) Cissy, Kara, and I spent the days relaxing on the beach while Bailey played in the sand with Ethan. They tried to build sand castles but the tide was really high and it soaked them every time. The current was really bad and just being in the water shin deep would knock us over. There were a lot of surfers and they were fun to watch. Later in the week we saw dolphins jumping in the waves. It was hard for Bailey to see them since they just look like black specks jumping from the water. Ethan and Kyle rode up and down the beach in the Rhino and had fun pulling out the cars that got stuck in the sand. We were sure they had fun looking at the beach "scenery" as well. The girls took a Rhino ride and I can definitely say there is a different between the private and public beaches. The public side was so dirty and filled with trash. I guess what makes the biggest difference is that cars and trucks can't be driven on the private side. We are so blessed to have friends, no FAMILY, that welcome us to their house anytime. We wished Dr. Landshark and Mrs. Bev had been there. I'm sure we will see them soon but not soon enough. Thank you MR. GREGG, MRS. BEV, KYLE, CISSY, and BABY HUDSON for an awesome week. We love you all so much!!! XOXO
