Papa's Beach House

Wilson LOVES to go to Papa's beach house in Surfside... we decided to take advantage and go for the weekend. Unfortunately all of the good beach footage is on the video camera-- so I will have to get a lesson from Nancy on how to get video clips onto the blog.
Anyway... the first day we were there it was really nice in the sun on the beach. Alexandria still throroughly enjoys eating sand (blegh!!!) and Wilson enjoys digging, splashing, watching his shadow, drawing in the sand, running, dancing, the fun goes on and on and on. The following days were a bit chillier, so we took advantage of a nearby playground-- it is a GREAT playground, and we had lots of fun swinging and climbing ans sliding. An older child came with her dad and immediately opened her pretend concession stand on one of the structures. Wilson thought it was quite funny to repeat everything she said in his high-pitched questioning voice, like "chocolate cake and lemonade?! ha ha ha", "soda?! ha ha ha"-- it was funny how funny he thought it was!



I see you!!!

Q T!!!

Daddy brought out his cast net for a little sea shore fun-- he caught groups of medium-sized fish. I was impressed with Wilson's willingness to hold them. They flopped around and one even jumped right out of his little bucket. Wilson liked to toss them back towards the water and watch them wiggle their way back to freedom. (Like daddy, like son.) The ones that weren't quite fast enough made a tasty lunch for the seagulls. Wilson thought that was pretty neat too.
I hope Wilson and Alexandria have lots and lots of memories like these, enjoying nature, the coast and God's amazing creation...
How could we not savor a view like this???
