Beach day....

Family is down from Vermont and we decided to head to the beach for a bit. It turns out there was a rocket launch scheduled for March 1 at 5:02 PM... and it went off on time! We were able to watch it go from the beach a little way's down from Cape Canaveral. It was Amazing. Aidan heard the boom and was so excited to see it. I think we might have to try for Jetty Park or on site sometime in the future. Poor Greg, had to stay home and work and care for the critters. I hear it was raining in Ocala at the time of the launch.

We took Sally and Charlie down to the beach at night to show them what crabbing was like! Charlie liked chasing them and seeing them scurry along the beach. He even caught a few in the bucket. Ok - my sister Terri was having fun watching the little guys too!  I love that my kids are getting some time spent with their cousins - even if they are older and teenagers they are doing well with my kids. 

A couple of us (Terri, Aidan and me) got up early today and walked down to the beach to watch the sunrise. We had a snafu with the original hotel room with the AC unit having broken down or I would have been watching this from the balcony. Oh well, I got a few steps walking down to the actual beach.

A full unplanned day to relax and spend time with family. Mom and Dad were down on the beach to see the rocket launch and Dad ventured down for a little walk this morning. Kids are playing on the beach making sand castles and boogie boarding and collecting shells. I should probably pop on my bathing suit and go supervise so Sally can enjoy jumping the waves with Emily.
