Life's a Beach!

We just returned from a glorious vacation at the beach. We went with two other families, who are great friends of ours and have children Ellie and Sadie Kate's ages. The kids loved jumping over the waves, building sandcastles, burying each other, water slides, lazy rivers, football in the pool, eating way too much junk, and staying up late watching movies and playing Legos...oh yeah, and pushing the buttons on the elevators. I will admit, the vacation was just what we needed. I hadn't realized how badly Mark and I needed more time together, as well as time with close friends. There was lots of overdue laughing, donut eating, milkshake making, book reviewing, movie going, seafood eating, and general merriment on this trip...and I think the kids had fun, too.
