Week at the Beach

Okay, really sorry about the late post...2 weeks late I think.

Not much happened the first week. Doctors appointment, a few more walks, hanging out with mom and Dad. Same old stuff.

Now the following week is where it got interesting and in order to make this post less than 6 pages long I’m going to take a page out of my sister’s book and tell you with the pictures.

First off let me say that the beach is beautiful especially when the sun is rising. I say it nearly every day last week with the number of early risers we had there.

Every morning from about 10 am to 1 pm or so nearly everyone would go down to the beach. I unfortunately couldn’t join them with my foot still wrapped but I just did other things with them. Amanda got back from her 3 week camp and joined us at the beach on Tuesday. She says she had fun.

One morning a mini golf course was having a tournament so Michael, Katie, Uncle Patric, and my cousin Caitlyn went. Mike and Kate got the worst scores and actually got a prize for it - a golf ball.

My Aunt Jenny had been trying to have a kid for 8 years and after something like 6 miscarriages gave up with news that her body couldn’t do it and went for adoption. My cousin Oliver was adopted little over 3 years ago on the day of his birth and everyone thought that was is. Then a month ago she tells us she’s pregnant and during the week she found out the gender and told us with a cake. Oliver is still convinced its a boy though.

My brother’s girlfriend, Tatiana, stopped by on Thursday since it was there 1 year anniversary. Of course it was the one rainy day so they couldn’t even go on the beach, something the little girls weren’t thrilled about. We had to find another way to entertain them so bracelet making and Disney movies it was.

Victoria’s birthday is actually today but we celebrated it early so it would be with the family. It’s weird to think that she is 15 now, I was there to see her the day she was born.

My Grandma, who won’t even go onto the sand let alone in the water, went parasailing. Needless to say we needed to get some photographic evidence.

Long Beach Island, Beach Haven. Seriously if you’re ever there during season you have to stop by the Show Place. The ice cream place that makes you sing. And make sure you ask them “What flavors of ice cream do you have?” No, I don’t care if it’s on the menu, ask it if you want to smile.

And what beach week isn’t complete with a few books read.

So there it is a week at the beach.
