Fire on the Beach

Sunday August 20, 2006 we went to the coast guard beach and had a fire. It was my favorite part of the trip. The walk to the spot we had the fire was quite an adventure dragging kids, blankets, firewood, corn, s'mores stuff, chairs and sand toys for about 1/2 a mile in the dark on the sandy beach was challenging. With Caleb slipping off my hip and the other arm is full of stuff trying to convince Ethan that there are no sharks on the beach than more than half way there I notice Ethan has no shoes so back I went with Caleb while Ethan cried because of the sharks, after searching back down the beach Eric yells "I've got Ethan's shoes". Finally we got to the fire and had the best time ever. We made s'mores and roasted corn under the coals (also know to our family as dirt corn) the kids dug in the sand and hung out in chairs until Ethan was so tired he cried for us to put him to bed he took the next best thing Nanny's arms. What a great time for us all even Caleb. THANKS MARK !!!!!
