Beach Bliss

Our own little slice of ocean...



Not sure why the frowns.... it was gloriously warm and sunny and we soaked in as much summer as we could.




There was lots of fishing...


With some success.


Dustin's best catch was a sting ray (which was immediately released).


Amber is an expert with the net and provided a steady supply of bait. (The girl wasn't afraid to manhandle a fish or stick a hook in its head. I was impressed.)


And Jake reeled in a shark. (A little disturbing to discover what you're swimming with.)


The shark unfortunately became dinner. Better him than us, I guess.




And after a blissful week we said goodbye to the half of my family who is returning to school and we won't get to see again 'till after Christmas.


Amber, Katelyn, Jacob, and beautiful bit of beach... you'll be missed.

  3. Oh my goodness! I am freaking out, yelling at Erik to come look! I can't believe the things you caught right off shore. I don't think I will ever go in the ocean again! That is insane! And you ate that shark? uuugh.
