Sometimes I have to pinch myself that where we live, day after day, is actually a vacation destination for many people who come from far away to spend a weekend on the beach. They may have saved money for months to afford a few days splashing around in the waves and relaxing on the san that makes up our neighborhood. I feel such gratitude that I can zip down the beach road on a whim, as we did yesterday, with less than two hours to spare; we simply needed to swim in the sea. It was almost 100 degrees outside and the sun gleamed in a brilliant blue sky. So off we went, while Kai was at camp, to the beach. The older two boys swam gleefully as I read Bread and Wine and dreamed of delicious meals to make my sun-kissed family for dinner. At one point I looked up and snapped this photo of my view. Then I pinched myself. This really is our home , our daily vacation spot, the place my boys have now lived for longer than anywhere else in their lives. We are living this beachy ...
The water park looks great :) And your flowers are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI do love the color of that rose...and I am familiar with the "I'm all done" face. My husband sympathizes with yours. ;)
ReplyDeleteThis makes me chuckle. Great pictures!
ReplyDeleteAh, yes, the grass... we have to watch out for that with the little pool. We move it around to try to give each spot a chance. Of course, our grass is a little patchy anyway!
ReplyDeleteI love roses!
Oh, the poor grass! :D Love the waterpark shot!
ReplyDeleteStopping over via PHFR!
LOVE the grass, Misty! This is the exact reason Tim makes me put our pool on the deck =) Thank goodness grass grows so easy! Thanks for the laugh!!
ReplyDeleteOh, my boys would so love that Cars beach towel, and a slip-and-slide. Unfortunately we don't have quite enough yard for that. Your yard is lovely regardless of the aftermath. =)
