It started out this way.
A little more than the shower they predicted.

In between
We stayed in a very nice beach rental.
Mary Poppins stopped by
The grandkids went on their first ocean fishing trip.

which turned out not to be so much fun.

Making sand castles
and jumping the waves
Were more to their liking.
We had some beautiful days playing in the water
And some lovely evenings enjoying the sunset

The kids had a blast and I always cherish my time with them.

The last few days were not the best, but we all stuck together and I am so thankful for the family that I have.
With some luck, I will be off to the west coast this week.
