Yesterday we celebrated Matthew's birthday with a family outing to the beach!
I knitted along on the messy bun hat
and am nearing the end of this hat-another 2" is all!
The waves were quite impressive for our shores-the rip tide warnings were still in effect so no one headed in to enjoy them from our group
though there were plenty who disregarded the warnings-
I figure that it is the weeding out of stupid from our population....
There were plenty of bird life activity and we were very happy to watch them.
Will goes into his beach mode
and tossed his ball and chased it for hours!
Ethan was not interested in the water at all at any cost!!!
He like hanging out with Grandpa
and stealing sips of Grandma's lemon water!
The beach was littered with shell detritus but I didn't find any shark's teeth!
We did find some Coquina rocks and that is always a treasure!
This guy didn't fare so well with the waves so large.
I enjoyed sitting and watching the waves come .
Very restive.
Every once in a while a bit of foam would whip up
and the texture is so interesting!
The whole day was perfection!
We came back home to cheesecake and a game of cards.
Sunkissed, rested and sated.
I think the family photo is wonderful. Cheesecake and cards? perfection.
