Family, Friends, Feathers, Fun

Our last night on the beach was blessed with a beautiful sky.  (You can also see how calm the water was.  It was pretty much like that the whole time.  I was able to take Sadie and Allie out one at a time, to float on the boogie board.  They loved it.)

Anyway, back to our last night, we went for a walk down the beach.  Sadie wanted to go the the pier (1 mile away) but it was too late to make it there and back.  I reminded her that I asked for her to take a walk that morning.  At the time she said, "you are wasting all my play time by taking a walks."  After the walk, she said she didn't know it would be so much fun.  

Because you just never know what you will see.  Harley the parrot was out on the beach showing off again.  I saw him last year.  You can check that out HERE

And there were two turtle nests that were being watched for hatching.  We didn't go back to check but it was interesting talking to the official watchers.  

Yesterday morning was our last chance to play.  I had gotten this flying rubbery disc at the Big Bin Dealz Store.  It was much easier to throw and softer to catch than a frisbee.  

Allie was particularly good at it.  Unfortunately, we left it on the beach.  Good thing it was only a dollar.  

Our sand castle building improved.  The last one was the best.  

And Birdie even made the "surf squad" necklaces out of shells she and her mother had found on the beach.  

Sadie and Allie showed them off for Mike and Virginia when they got home. 

Well, maybe Allie was more interested in riding her bike.  

As a bonus, Carol and I got one also.  I've never made a friend at the beach before, but Birdie's mom was awesome.  I guess there is a first time for everything.
