We spent the day today at the beach: 8 children, 2 moms, and ONE dad…we were quite a sight! And I heard some funny comments from passersby. {I’ll leave the exact comments up to your imagination.}
The requests were high:
From Ben – “I want to see dolphins.”
From Cora – “I want to find nice shells.”
From Anna – “I want a starfish I can take home to Iowa.”
From me – “I want a gentle beach where I don’t have to worry about my kids…”
Luckily…we have great friends. They delivered on all counts that mattered. Sadly, Anna was unable to find a starfish to take home to Iowa, but she had so much fun doing other things, she forgot. Please don’t remind her. 😉 Here are a few of my favorite shots from the day:
My 2 redheaded babies.
Redheaded friends.
Cookie snatching sea-gulls
A sea-gull
My spica girl
Daddy and his baby
Three friends examining a shell
Babies having a conversation
Last, but not least, a real, live dolphin!!
Now, as long as we have enough aloe vera to get us through the night…we’ll be good.

Thanks for sharing the pix. It looks like all were having a good time. Wonderful you could make the trip and see friends.
Looks like everyone had a great time. Looks nice and warm. We are having snow here
Looks like a wonderful vacation! We’re hearing predictions of snow for Sunday. I’d rather be where it’s sunny.
Love, love, love these pictures! Looks like you are having a wonderful time – enjoy!
Welcome to Florida, glad you’re having fun. If you need sunburn relief, gently rub some good ole white vinegar over the burn. You’ll smell like a potato chip, but definately feel less crispy.
I remember my mom putting vinegar on my burns when I was a child. You’d think we would have been a bit smarter… 😉 WHO gets a sunburn in February?
Makes we wish I was there! Love Florida this time of year!
