Sunny Morning Rainy Afternoon

We had a lot of fun on the beach today. Joan and mom fished and when they caught fish let them go in the tide pool. The grandchildren chased fish around that tide pool for hours. The waves were pretty choppy, not so good for boogie boarding.

The tide pool was perfect, not just for the fish Joan caught but for the babies and bigger kids too.

We brought our leftovers from breakfast to feed the rats of the sky as David use to say, the gulls.

Even if they are scavengers, they sure are pretty scavengers and fun to watch.

Rhoda always has the best bed on the beach and shares it with Iris. She is under the umbrella to keep the sun off Iris.

Mom had fun fishing even though she didn't end up pulling any up, the fish were biting and stripping her bait. When we all got too hot, we needed to bring everything back to head to the pool. Below Israel is pulling the boogie boards back to grandma's condo.

When we got too hot we went to the pool, swimming and playing in there until Mackenson noticed rain coming. The grandchildren were put down for naps while Stephanie shopped the consignment shops for clothes.

Then when I got back, Rhoda, Sarah, Taunya and Stephanie went to dinner. Mom and Joan went to Lowe's in Foley for some more paint and supplies for her condo. After Rhoda, Sarah, Taunya and Stephanie got back Sarah took Faith, Mackenson, and Berlica crabbing catching lots of little crabs on the beach.
