It was breathtaking! :) When I get the blog back up, I hope to post a few pics. <br /><br />Looks like this was a lovely time!! Love all the beautiful photos. I can relate to being with Melissa and having her make the memory a magical time. =) I've been to places with her where I probably would've been anxious otherwise, but her friendship and encouragement were such a blessing and put me at ease! God has gifted her in that!<br /><br />Blessings to all of you~<br />Katie~katie~https://www.blogger.com/profile/03098817313603747451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-15714786993253007022012-09-01T14:09:50.823-04:002012-09-01T14:09:50.823-04:00I enjoy the beach, but don't like all of the c...I enjoy the beach, but don't like all of the clean up that ensues after a day there. <br />My husband loves the beach and would like to retire there. We may reach a compromise by living on the bay side! :)<br />After many days at home, I'm sure the outing was enjoyable just for the change of scenery and time with dear friends.angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00688991209865856563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-57131869339156997322012-08-31T22:47:26.254-04:002012-08-31T22:47:26.254-04:00I Love the Beach!

I always find it so relaxing to listen to the ocean waves.<br /><br />Did you bring baby powder with you? We have found that is a must for getting wet sand off of kids before heading home.<br /><br />Glad to see you had a great time. Beautiful pictures too!Yvonnehttp://blessedtobeahomemakingmom.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-57677151531418332772012-08-31T14:51:24.047-04:002012-08-31T14:51:24.047-04:00We are total beach lovers in this house, but sadly...We are total beach lovers in this house, but sadly are Midwestern natives! It's a 2-day drive to any ocean for us, but we make it a priority to take the children. Mary Catherine has been every year of her life (7!). On the other hand, we are a mere 10-hour drive (hey, Kansas is a huge state!) from the mountains and we hardly ever go. We are taking the kiddos this Christmas, though they don't know it! Staying in Estes, which virtually becomes a ghost town over the Christmas Holiday which is exactly how we like it! We aren't skiers, but we do love to snowshoe, so Rocky Mountain National Park is a perfect winter get-a-way for us!<br /><br />Blessings, Monica! Wishing you a wonderful weekend,<br /><br />ValerieValeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17633704862629969672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-51995808868264466692012-08-31T14:33:54.635-04:002012-08-31T14:33:54.635-04:00Me either.

I don't care for the beach at all, although I must admit your beaches are much cleaner and prettier... which might make going once in a while something to look forward to. ;)<br /><br />Lovely pics...<br />Lovely memories and list. ;)<br /><br />***<br />Too funny about that last comment of mine. oops! As I was typing it I was second guessing myself and should have gone back to double check the title of the mag. I just was remembering your blog post title and kept thinking - well maybe she knows something I don't - maybe there really is an artful living mag.<br />Shows how much I really looked at your photo/details. Sorry.<br />It's just that I was taken in by your whole moment and was really blessed.Bevy @ Treasured Up and Ponderedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15821971923515558110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-61208951717149804472012-08-31T10:43:42.259-04:002012-08-31T10:43:42.259-04:00I am NOT a beach person either.

Give me a mountain and a lake ANYDAY. My friends always talk about taking cruises and I would like to but I would head north to Alaska :o)<br /><br />I, too, hardly ever tell my children our plans even though mine are older than yours. It just seems to keep disappointments for changed plans at the last minute at bay. But recently my 11-year old expressed great frustration that I just wake him up and tell him to get ready. He requested that I make him aware of plans the night before, and he made sure to tell me he could handle the disappointment if things didn't work out :o) Mrs. Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10385623160520451175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-47840486624940205252012-08-31T10:20:00.507-04:002012-08-31T10:20:00.507-04:00Oh, what a lovely post!

But I love standing beside the ocean and being amazed (and intimidated!) by its power! I'm so glad the littles had fun anticipating and enjoying your beach outing! Thanks for sharing these photos :) -- love you all, MomMomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-65612179265806670942012-08-31T08:16:43.512-04:002012-08-31T08:16:43.512-04:00Thanks for sharing, Monica.
