Vacationing with friends Day 1

I am at the beach!!!  I NEVER thought the day would come when Roger and I would be able to go back to our honeymoon spot but NEVER underestimate God.  He is TRULY good!

We had a MARVELOUS and RELAXING day!  Early this morning we took a lovely walk down to the beach. It was Paul's first time seeing the ocean. He was speechless and I had tears in my I eyes I was so happy for him. "you know who gave you this wonderful gift called the ocean?  God gave it to you baby. Isn't God so good!" The child thought he was in heaven. He ran and jumped and played. It was wonderful. Roger and I had one of those "5 years ago we were honeymooning on this very beach and now here we are with our Paul boy," moments. It was truly fantastic.

When we got back from the beach we played the "jump in the heated pool, then the cold pool and then the hot tub," game while the kids played in the kiddy sprinkler/pool thing. It was so nice to be with friends talking while the kids played until their hearts content. 

Around 5pm a BIG storm came, which was also very nice. I sat outside alone on the back patio and watched the weather change. The day became darker and darker and then the flood gates opened. We all got cozy inside the HUGE time share, some of us watching tv, some talking, some trying to read and some napping (or trying to). 

We just recently got finished eating the lovely spaghetti dinner that the men folk (Roger and Alex) made and the delicious raspberry pie one of the kids made. It was nice to sit down to a home cooked meal with friends after a day at the beach!!!  

It's still raining AND THUNDERING LOUD.  But the kids are asleep and we are sitting outside on the patio, talking and watching the rain. 

I can't believe this is just the first day. We have 5 more days left!!!  This is so refreshing!

Tomorrow the ladies are going to yoga before the beach. yes, ladies and gentlemen, we have reached the mountain top and it is ooooooh so nice!
