Peaceful, Easy Feeling

This past weekend, the Harrell and Garber families were invited to spend the weekend with Stacey and Drew Smith at their beach house on St. Teresa Beach! Thank you both so very much for spoiling us with the beauty of your beach, the peacefulness of the backyard and porch and the comfy beds. We danced with the butterflies, ran up and down the beach, took naps on the porch, relaxed in the hammock swing....The boys drank as much juice as they wanted, ate extra hotdogs smothered in tons of ketchup, ran around naked for hours on end...we had a dance party in the living room, built sand castles, got our first sticker/pricker in our feet, and celebrated FSU finally playing some decent ball...We played hard, napped long and still smell like sunscreen!! Thank you again Smith's, we cannot wait to do it again!

On Sunday morning, while the entire house was still fast asleep, me and my 3 boys headed down to the beach. There was not a soul in sight...It was a moment that I do not think I will ever forget. The boys where unusually quiet...we all just listened to the waves lapping against the shore, the seagulls squacking and watched as the sun rose high in the sky. The boys ran with a new found freedom on that wet, sandy ground. Gotta love that peaceful, easy feeling of the beach...............
