The girls were so antsy they were bouncing around the pay station cheering Chris to get on the ball and get the parking payed so they could get to the beach. It was about 11:30 AM and bright and sunny about 65 degrees and no breeze so it felt very warm. Julie is a great mom getting a big bag of sandwiches and stuff ready as well as the kids, Oh! as a side note Gracie got sick in the middle of morning preperations and Julie was in the bathroom with the fan on and she couldn't hear Chris yelling for her at the top of his lungs as he picked up Gracie and got her over the kitchen sink as she hurled over him and into the sink. When it was over she walked into the kitchen as Chris was cleaning up and said I did't hear a thing the fan was going. Chris and I just looked at each other with that um I don't think so look. The first part of the day at the beach the girls just played chicken with the waves while Chris took pictures and Julie read and worked on her tan. It was a delightful day. I slept a while. Slept some more when I got home. My blood sugar would not come down and now we are ready to eat homemade pizza. I'll probably sleep through Christmas.
