A Very Crabby Day

We had another wonderful day on the beach today.
The sun rose and got us off to the right start.




Beach bums.



Beach flower.  Not sure what it's called.
We walked along a row of houses and this one says, "Kathie's House" on the front.  The roses were so pretty.



The kids entertained themselves on the beach and in the water.  They discovered when they pick up shells out in the water, they have sand crabs inside.



They did this for hours today and had so much fun.  We also fit in some volleyball, football and wave jumping.
            

 This seagull was holding his wings down like a protective turkey would do. At first we thought he had a broken wing and then noticed it was both wings.  Maybe it was courting the other bird. Maybe it was a sympathy move to get some of our lunch.  Anyway, he flew away with no issues.



The kids made this habitat to watch the sand crabs and other creatures they were finding.  They turned them all loose so I could have my cake pan back.  It took a little extra cleaning. This could actually be a Mud Cake.... with seafood.


We enjoyed the best of both living arrangements today.  After the beach time, we enjoyed the nice pool and hot tub at their Hotel.



It's consider "off season" here and we nearly had the place to ourselves.  It's a very nice place they are staying in.


This is our lovely grand daughter, Kyra.  She is 13.


After enjoying a long, long, long hot shower at the hotel, we came back and cooked burgers on the charcoal burner at the State Park.
We went for a nice long walk just as the sun was setting.


Collin walked out ahead of us the whole way and missed being in a couple of pictures.









We all got back to the campground for a bonfire and S'mores with Chocolate Chip cookies in place of Graham Crackers... our new favorite.... and of coarse, it was made better with the flat marshmallows that Tana found at the store.






As the fire was burning down, the bugs found us and we made a retreat into the "large" family room in the RV to play Catch Phrase.  The boy's team beat the girl's team.


Could we have fit more into this day?  We probably could have if we hadn't just enjoyed all of that time on the beach.  An all around enjoyable day.

Love and Blessings,
Kathy
