The Dog Days of Summer....are done

Just got home from a really great night at the beach with my boys ( A.K.A - Music Men). There is nothing like sand, salt, and warm wind to conjure up the nostalgic and fuzzy feelings of family-time. Throwing the ball, flying a kite, jumping the waves....stinging eyes, tangled hair, sand inside and in between everything...laughing children, sandcastles, crying over fallen food, mouthfuls of sand, fistfuls of sand, food full of sand, everything full of sand...sigh....wet hugs, warm kisses, building memories with the boys...

I'm going to miss the summer.

I'm not going to miss showering in the 3-feet tall showers at Malachite Beach. Awkward.
