Palm Sunday at the Beach

 I awoke at 5:30 am looked toward the headboard to see the clock but there was no headboard. I had forgotten where I was. Sarah and all 3 girls were already up and Sarah had the coffee done. What a nice benefit of sharing a condo with early risers. It really has been a joy living with these 3 precious grand daughters. 

Above Zion is just finishing her breakfast and below Sarah has just finished brushing Eden's hair.

Above River's hair is all brushed and below are all 3 girls almost ready for church.

They just had one more job, brushing teeth.
Sarah and Nolan drove up to Foley to go to church with Jason and Allison who used to be their neighbors until they moved down here. Rhoda and Lee's family joined them. I stayed at the condo and watched our church on-line.
I could hear Nancy on some of the earlier songs. Gregg Rumbold had the Palm Sunday service. Click HERE if you would like to watch that. After church was over I went down to the pool, traded in a book for another. This one was about the Honey Bee Sisters and was a cute easy reading stories. Stephanie was also reading down by the pool. They went to church at a local church. When everyone got back we headed for the beach which was pretty crowded. The girls started digging and Israel joined in.
The jet ski was out giving banana boat rides.

Soon even David joined in the digging. They made a castle and were digging a moat around the castle then a canal all the way to the water.

Nolan came to help but was throwing the sand up at the kids who would dodge that.
The parasailing started up close to where we were sitting.
Israel got the skim board out and gave Zion a ride down the beach and back.
Then Israel got a ride ON the skim board.
Soon came time for a football game. The adults and the kids played. Below Stephanie is taking a video of the game.
Below River is running in the water of the canal they made to the sand castle.
The clouds came in, the wind picked up so we decided to go in and enjoy the hot tub and heated pool at mom's condo Island Royal.
It is so nice to have both an indoor and outdoor pool AND a hot tub indoor and outdoor.
It was past supper time when we finally came back to our condo. Sarah made build your own tacos for supper. River loves sour cream.
After supper some walked and some drove to the ice cream store and when they got home they all went right to bed. What a busy long day playing outside. I've got the coffee pot ready for the morning and if I'm lucky Sarah will start it again before I get up.
