Awesome Day at the Beach!!!!

The day at the beach yesterday was amazingly incredible! We got there at almost noon, I think, and the six of us had little church while Mr. Leu (aka Scott, in my mom's blog) did some laundry and had his time with God. After eating the lunch we had packed, my family then walked the agonizing length of across the street to get to the beach (haha). I sat with Mom and Dad on the beach chairs, taking pictures of Nicholas scooping up water and tossing it out in an arch, Nathan creating his sand castle, and Noah...um...I'm not exactly sure what Noah was doing. :-)

Soon Mrs. Leu and her two daughters and young son arrived and, along with Mr. Leu, joined us at the beach.  The boys made a sand castle while we three girls (we three kings of Orient are bearing gifts...sorry :-) random burst into song) tossed a football and then walked along the beach.  There was a huge sand castle that someone made!  I took a picture of Jordan and Brianna (sorry if I spelled your names wrong!) next to it.  Then we girls made a sand castle of our own, a kind of miniature version of the big one. :-) Then we connected the boys' sand castle/tunnel/recliner (as shown by Nathan) to the girls' sand castle, and Jordan and Sammy, the Leu's little boy, made a tiny wall all around our empire.  It was awesome. :-)  Here are some of the pictures that Mom and I took:

I hope everyone had as great of a weekend as we did!!  Today we just did schoolwork and laundry.  Same old, same old.  And I got to write a 5-paragraph essay - oh, joy! :-) But I found a topic online that I liked - the topic that was assigned from the textbook seemed kinda dull, so Mom said I could pick another one. :-)

God bless, y'all! :-)
