Part II - Chapter 5 - Life's A Beach!

Saturday evening, we drove straight and hard toward Shallotte, ready to see my family. Then when we arrived, they weren’t even home!! (They had made a Wal-mart run!)
Lots of excitement when did they arrive home! Yummy lemon cake! Sword Fights! Lots of chattering and showing off! I loved every moment of it!




Sunday morning, we decided to head to Holden Beach (in the hottest part of the day). I am so thankful for Spray-on Sunscreen and Italian Ices! We had lots of fun – almost got carried away on a wave when it overflowed our spot (Kevin was yelling from water – Cameras! Cameras! And we are just looking at him!) The guys had fun surfing though the water was rough and waves were pretty tall! The boys entertained the beach by burying each other alive! When they would get hot, one would run to the ocean and bring back a bucket full of water dousing the buried one! (too cute). Of course, no visit to the beach is complete without feeding the seagulls. I had forgotten we even brought bread and couldn’t figure out why the gulls were gathering so close to our feet! But they were ready for lunch! As a matter of fact, so were we!

I must say living on the beach has its perks and Kevin and Donna have it down pat to the details! Clean clothes, towels, umbrella, surfboards, sand toys, snacks, bread, and cameras – so organized and packed just right – everyone has something to carry and the boys know just what it is! We were set up in minutes and then ready to go in even less time. I pretty much stood there with my mouth hanging open – it was just amazingly organized! Not like when I am going to the beach!!!
