Day at the Beach

Today was a beach day, and it certainly was a scorcher too! We didn't go to the coast line though - we went to a place called Hampton Beach along Lake Weir. It isn't the first time we went to this beach.

It's only about ten minutes from Ba-Ba's house, and a nice little place we've been to a few times. Last time, it was uncrowded and quiet. Madison waded out into the water with Mommy and Daddy, and together we played in the sand along the shore. Also, there's a playground nearby in the shade which was fun to use for the slides and swings. Large beautiful trees tower overhead, their trunks twisting parallel to the ground and swinging upward, the Spanish moss dangling all over each branch like decorations on a Christmas tree. It really is a pretty spot.

Today, it was a bit more crowded. In fact, Daddy had to drop everyone off at the park's edge as he scoured for a parking spot.

It was a nice time along the shore, as Madison, Mommy and Daddy again dipped into the water for a bit, and also spent a little time with Nana building a sand castle to watch over the waters.

Today was a very relaxed day again. Daddy spent time reading a book, while Madison spent time playing with her toys, coloring and teasing Velcro. Mommy spent quality time with her parents, and all of us spent a lot of time eating more food! Huge breakfast, big lunch, and a ginormous Mexican dinner - and then they had the nerve to offer dessert? Of course, Daddy said yes!
