Our Family Ramblings!

I can not even tell you how badly I needed a beach day!  I just love the enormous vastness that the ocean is and that my God has created it !  I feel closer to him almost when I am there... well when I am not being pulled in a hundred directions, and I am not hearing "mom" all day long! :o)  I do love the view from my chair though!  My kids playing in front of me enjoying God's playground!  I don't we think we realize how much he has given to us as "free" entertainment!

Today we packed up after 2 days of being cooped up in the house on spring break because of nasty weather and headed to the coast!  My parents, brother , and his 2 kids joined us as well!  It was SO windy because of the outgoing weather front!  But the skies were clear , not a cloud in the sky, and the humidity was low!  It was just perfect!

Guess what?  I even got to take a LONG walk on the beach by myself!  BOO YAH!!!  Just me and my thoughts... yoikes...yes, I do have them from time to time-- not always pretty, my IPOD ,  and my God!     As I walked further down the beach the crowds of people started to diminish, and it was quiet and peaceful!  I was pretty much a lone.. well me and a few hundred seagulls that looked like they were up to no good!  Hundreds flocked above my head!  All I could do was pray they didn't poop on my head!  ;o)  It was a pretty great time except when I am a lone with my thoughts, my heart, and God... we tend to wrestle!   I really have to get to the beach by myself more often! 

The kids had a great time with their cousins!!  The highlight of their day was rescuing a fish stuck in the sand!  :o)  I did come home with a pound of sand in places I did NOT need sand and pretty good sun burn!  Enjoy the pics!  You can click on them and they will enlarge!
