Back in the first week of April, we got to enjoy the company of Grandpa J and Nona K. They came down to visit for a few days. And we really enjoyed our time together! One of the great things about having company is it makes you go and do and see things that when you live someplace you just kind of take for granted.
They got in on a Monday in time for dinner. And we just sat and visited. The next day we took a trip to the beach. It was a beautiful day! A little breezy and sunshiny. A perfect day for a couple of folks from the Midwest! We brought blankets and flipper and lunch and just hung out.
The water was cold. At least too cold for me! But, the kids couldn't care less so they got in. Although rather slowly. Nona K said she didn't come all this way NOT to get in the water. So, she was much braver.
We really are blessed to live where we do. Rolling hills in town and the beautiful, white sandy beaches within an hour and a half.
We saw this Great Blue Heron just standing on the beach while we were hunting shells. He/she never left. Maybe she had a nest nearby. They are such beautiful birds!
We also went to a local lake/park where there were some little shops. We had homemade ice cream and the kids climbed the big tree. We also went to a little artsy part of town that I had never been to before. While hanging out at the house we played a bunch of games of Scrabble and the kids loved that! (So did I!)
All in all, we had a great visit. It is always fun when family comes to town . . .
