After the dust cleared

After the dust cleared from Christmas wrapping paper.....and the skies were still blue, we decided to take a quick trip down to the newly remodeled beach cabin. We got down there in the afternoon and went straight down to the beach with the remaining sunlight hours.

The beauty of this place never disappoints. We've been going down there for 12 years and the smell of the salt air is just as comforting.


Three Rocks and the girls all bundled up:


You can see Jake in the background getting ready to catch the football. He is getting quite good, "you touch it, you catch it" is the motto.


This giant tree had moved in the surf when we went down the next morning. The power of the ocean is amazing.


Bri and the kids.



We walked through the tunnel to the other side. The tide was still pretty high and we had to run to the rocks to stay dry on a couple of occasions.



Jake and Grace



Avery is always such a comfort to Grace. This is our trek back up to the cabin.




A view from the front door. All the white in the picture is actually the ocean.




A view from the kitchen.



The girls in the loft watching a movie.
Notice the latter up to the loft. You didn't think we would actually be able to leave that place without someone falling did you??? And No it wasn't the two year old (she could actually maneuver the latter pretty darn well!), it was the six old! She was going down backward, with socks on, carrying her new DS... A recipe for disaster!!




And here is the goose egg to prove it:



We were just lucky she didn't break anything!!!




The renovations are just amazing! We are so grateful!

Isn't it scary how much things swell up right away? One time John knocked his forehead and seriously looked like he was sprouting a horn. The cabin looks absolutely lovely!
