September at the beach









We have had two glorious beach days this week. Girl Hayley and I went down by ourselves yesterday and played for a couple hours until Jeff dropped the boys off when they got home from school. She was so tired last night and groaning every time she had to stand up or move. I didn't think she would even want to go with us again today but she was a trooper and she was ready to go.

We spent five beautiful hours playing in the water and sand and there was no one else down there, very few people even walked by. One lady who did stopped to say that she and her husband rent a place here in September every year and that they have looked forward to seeing me and the boys at the beach every time. She said they love watching the boys play, how nice is that? She was from Naples, Florida.

I don't understand why there aren't more people down there. Once Labor Day is over the beach is empty and no one enjoys it but it's my favorite time of year. Each extra beach day we get is a bonus to be savored and enjoyed and daydream of once winter hits.
