A new week!

Published by at 8:00 am under Beach,Family,Just talking

Hi everyone! I’m back from the beach! It was a wonderful relaxing time, but not without some craziness mixed in! I went with my daughter and 2 grandsons, so you know we didn’t just sit on the beach soaking up the rays and relaxing the whole time! We built drip sand castles, rode the waves on boogie boards, and watched the lifeguard pull in several people who weren’t paying attention and got carried out too far by the riptides. The riptides were unusually strong because of the low pressure system off the coast which has now become a tropical storm.

We also played MagiQuest! Have you heard of it? You purchase a “magic” wand and are given several different quests to complete within a certain time span. Your wand unlocks secrets and allows you to gather treasures to aid you along the way. There were people of all ages playing. It was really cool! There were castles, gargoyles, fairies, unicorns, musical trees and even wizards! Here’s Hunter with his wand, waiting to enter the chamber to play.

And here are some more random images of the week. Check out Hunter’s back flip on the bungee cord jump and my “Shark’s Bite” beverage!

Thanks for visiting today and allowing me to share my vacation with you! I’ll be back on Wednesday for the Color Throwdown challenge. It’s my week to host it!
