Rainy Day Fun on Beach Day 5

Posted By on July 23, 2015

Today was the first morning that Krista, Adam, Maddox and Ryder were at the beach and sadly, it was the first terrible weather day. It was rainy and kind of cool so we left them to try to deal with the beach while we went to Stone Harbor for shopping at lunch. In the Five and Dime, Sam tried on a bunch of silly hats. This one was my favorite.

We stayed a few hours, then went back to the house. By then, the Burkes had abandoned the beach and come home. The kids were a bit wound up so it was time for a good roughhousing session to burn off that energy!

We had planned a pasta dinner so we could all sit down as a family and Ryder was all set. He won’t turn down food, that’s for sure! The food looked (and tasted) great, so who can blame him?

After dinner, we taught Sam and Maddox how to play the card game, Uno. They did pretty well. Sam and I shared the first hand until she got the hang of it, and we won!

Adam and I took the kids for ice cream while Mark and Krista went for a bike ride. Sam was pleased to be in charge of Ryder while we got settled! She loves being the boss of him, the poor kid!

Hopefully, there will be lots of years ahead at the beach, playing games, eating good food, and having fun. It’s even more important now for Sam to have all these wonderful family memories to look back on. She will remember these times, so we are trying really hard to fill it with joy, and laughter, and happiness.
