Dad and Mom rented a beach house from friends of theirs while we were all in FL. It was on Sanibel Island and was just a tiny walk to the beach! Oh… it was a little piece of heaven. One morning while the kids and I were on the beach and Danny was home while Caleb napped, I texted Danny that I was TRULY relaxing! This is heavenly to me….so quiet, still, pretty, calming, warm, peaceful!
Since the beach was so close, we went there a couples times a day. One of the special parts of Sanibel is the number of shells on the beach… you literally had to be careful where you stepped. We were able to bring home some really special ones…Here are Hannah and Josiah looking for exactly the right one to take home!
Karen was off work one of the mornings so she slept over and played on the beach for a while before going to work… what a great auntie!
Caleb loved the texture and coolness of the sand on his feet. He kept jumping in the sand… boy, I wish he would be happy once in a while! :) So different from his brother! Nanna loved to really get to know both of the boys on this trip!
Daddy and his kiddos… boy, they LOVE him!
We love going for walks as a family so we carried on the tradition in FL by walking on the BEACH instead! We dropped off our shoes and hit the sand with bare feet and smiles! And yes, Hannah DID get all wet before we headed home!
Sisters are FOREVER!
Looking for shells (I love how you see the girls in the background!)
There is just something about the ocean waves that is amazing to just watch and watch! Wait until they see really HUGE waves some day… the majesty of God is AMAZING to us!
Caleb fell asleep on our walk… he doesn’t do that a lot any more! How precious!
