a sandy bucket full of memories


Only a few more weeks until school lets out. Summer vacation is about to begin. We are planning a trip to the beach. I hate getting on an airplane. I am not crazy about getting into a swimsuit. But I do love the wonders of the ocean.


Last year, we took the boys Hilton Head SC. It was beautiful, and full of fun. The boys had a blast digging in the sand, splashing in the water, and finding sea creatures. This is a picture of the ghost crab we found last year. We took our flashlights, nets ,and buckets to the beach at night. We were headed back to the car when this little guy scrambled across our path. He ran sideways, zig zaged down the beach, stopping to bury himself in the sand. We fallowed squealing and laughing until we finally got him in the bucket. We made quite a scene. In the end we let him go and held on to the memories.
