Birthday Beach Trip

 
To celebrate Ryan's birthday, we headed to the coast for the day. On our way out of town, Grant requested that we stop at the dollar store in order to purchase buckets and shovels for Grace and Laura with his own money. What a sweetie! It was a windy day but we were blessed enough to find a place on the beach near a sandy hill which blocked much of the gusty gales! The children enjoyed the time there so much.. the little girls are already begging to go back. :-)
 
 
 
Special Time Together
 
 
It was a windy day but this sand hill provided some protection from the wind

Two Best Friends



 
This was the best shot out of like, 10. The girls were particularly wild this day!
 (The little ones, not the big ones :-) )
 
 
Sweethearts after all these years!

Since we were located so far from shore, near the bank, we all took turns heading to the water to gather water for the little girls to dump and play with.
 
 
 
 
 

The Lord gave Ashley and Amanda the  opportunity to talk with these sweet girls.. they spoke with them for over an hour together about the Lord. It was a precious meeting.

Ryan brought along his beach cruiser.. unfortunately, it didn't 'cruise' very well on the beach! LOL!

 
Such a glorious day!
