This was our last day at the beach! Well, we are going to try to squeeze in one more Saturday after school starts. It was such a nice day! The weather was gorgeous, but the water was a little cold. The tide was coming in, but the waves weren't too choppy. The kids played and played!
Gabe came up with a game called "Castle Wars." He created a castle complete with guards and fortress and an invisible force field. Rom then had to create his own castle with whatever materials he could find (he didn't know about the invisible force field, though!). They then proceeded to war with various attacks, moves and defenses. I think Dani can relate to this with JR -- Gabe is very creative, pretty dang smart, and he comes up with a rather complicated set of rules. Rom would try to keep up creatively, but it often just earned him a disgusted shake of the head from Gabe. Rom tried to claim victory, but Gabe said he was the one who "powned" his dad. The other kids all joined in, just for fun, and just because Rom was in on it. I, who had been cornered last week, chose to sit it out.
We love the beach! I think it is our family's favorite place in the world. We are so blessed to be able to enjoy it as much as we do!

Love the invisible force field idea. Tell Gabe that next time We are at the beach with you I get to be on his team!
Ahh yes, the beach... Must be a genetic thing. Mom says that her soul feels complete at the beach.
I love the beach. That is always the one thing that I wish we did one more time each time we visit. It is so wonderful. There is something so energizing about swimming in salt water. I love it!
The pictures were fun. Makes me want to go to the beach. It should be quiet now with all the kids in school.
