My sister’s family drove all the way from Minnesota to join us for a week at the beach house.   The first day we arrived, it was very rainy – we had a great time exploring the bay and the beach in the rain.  It’s quite a different experience on a rainy day so I’m so glad we had just one day of rain to explore and rest and recharge before we started our fun-filled week.   We spent our first day….

Being silly

checking crab traps

viewing our beach house from the bay side

exploring the wildlife

having family visit us

watching fish jump

counting hundreds of sand crabs on the shore

falling in love with my nephew all over again

found so many amazing things on
a well-kept secret of an island

plenty of time in the pool

playing with aunts and uncles

wearing goggles upside down

exploring the island on bikes

coloring, nail painting, hermit crab catching,

lighthouse puzzles, eating twizzlers and boiled peanuts

and plenty and plenty of time to rest, relax and recharge
spending time with those we love

Best. Vacation. Ever…..
