a little more of that summertime feeling...

What a beautiful weekend to go to the beach! Pensacola was sunny and warm with a gentle breeze, just perfect for enjoying the blue-green water and fine white sand. The waters were calm, so the girls did not get to boogie board as much as they would have liked. But that made it easy to search for critters under the surf. Haley found a jelly and some hermit crabs, not to mention lots of lovely shells. There were mermaids on the beach, too. Some are related to us, and the others swam down to the Gulf for the weekend with their family. How great to have friends vacationing in the same spot. The kids had fun playing together and we grown-ups had a chance to catch up. If only that summertime feeling could last forever. At least we recaptured it for a few more days!
