Monday in Emerald Isle

Today, after a leisurely breakfast, David and the kids walked down the driveway and up the walkway to the beach. They went out in the morning and again in the afternoon. They had a blast playing in the sand and swimming and jumping waves. Morgan has always loved the ocean and Caroline too, once she got over her hyperventilating at the sight of it stage when she was three! Will and Katherine are just loving the water more than we could have hoped!

Later in the day Katherine and I went shopping for necessities - things like birthday presents, a new pirate book for Will, eggos, ice cream and rootbeer!

Caroline met a new friend on the beach - her name is Camille and she's staying in the house just across the street from ours. They are having a wonderful time together playing games. Caroline is warming up her chess game with Camille's help - she's hoping to beat her father soon!


We had a yummy dinner (always do) with an appetizer made by Katherine, and then we celebrated Granddaddy and Grandmama's birthday with huge chocolate chip cookies and ice cream! Yum. Grandmama even had gifts for everyone!
