Back to School?...Nah!

We started school on Tuesday and were already singing the blues after 3 days! Pitiful, I know. So, Eve tempted Adam and with Adam's complete support, we headed off to Ocean City on Friday morning! We managed to keep it secret from the kids until we woke them up, wearing swimsuits, and told them to put theirs on! They figured it out only after they saw the van packed with Boogie Boards and beach chairs. We stayed the night, and had two beautiful days of sun and sand!

Shawn enjoying the sunshine and great weather!

The kids going to ride some waves!

Ashley riding a wave in. We had forgotten how big the O.C. waves can be!

Dylan caught this one! He rode one in that shook his whole body before throwing him off...very funny to see!

What is it about last minute, spontaneous plans that make you feel so young at heart!?!?

Dylan and Ashley looking for the big one!

Shawn built this "house on the sand." (Reminded me of the children's song.) It lasted until high tide. He said it was a model of our home when we retire. Hope he's a wise man then and builds it on "the rock!"

Dylan was finally, old enough, & tall enough to ride some of the Go-carts at Baha Race Track. He could not beat daddy, but he drove very well!

Dylan and Ashley pulling out into the race!

White knuckled Shawn, out for speed!

Enjoying the day, enjoying each other.

Shawn had the rare option of either playing volley ball with some guys, or this. He's starting to show his age!

Ephesians 3:14-19

"For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height - to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, for ever and ever. Amen."
