Back to the Beach again


Our latest weekend adventure took us to a beautiful swimming beach about an hour away.  It doesn't compare to the sand and water we left but it was super nice for here.  We loved being in the sand again and listening to the waves.  We went with some of our other favorite friends and loved sitting on the beach visiting while the kids were in heaven playing at the beach.  Damon was so happy and content to be in the sand again.  It is the life he has always known!  Unfortunately I don't have pictures of that because I never take my camera to the sand with us.

These first pictures are from an island called "Seagull Island" .  I guess at certain times it is FULL of eggs and nests of seagulls.  You have to have an umbrella...but not for the rain.  Luckily, it isn't the season for that so we enjoyed the view with no umbrellas.
















A Shinto shrine.  This is where they wash their hands then ring a bell and clap.  Then they pray and write down their prays to hang up.  Interesting.







This is the beach we enjoyed.

Makelle found these shells at the beach and came home and turned them in to dangling earrings.
