Endless Summer

It sure does not feel like the end of November. I know I've said this before but somewhere out there are snowstorms, hot chocolate, spiced pumpkin cookies, fireplaces burning, and homes all decorated for the Christmas holidays. It all seems like worlds away. Here, I keep finding myself at the ocean, in the water, building drip sand castles with the kids.

We were invited by our friends Daniel and Julia for a BBQ on the beach last Saturday night. We drove out to Yas Island and just parked in the sand, pulled out the portable BBQ and grilled up some beef kabobs. The kids had fun shell seeking at sunset. The gulf water is still very warm and we could walk to the mangroves at low tide. Quin and Audrey found a little crab they adopted as their pet for the night.

Here are a few pics of the night.








I know this one of Hazel is out of focus - but it is rare to have a pic of her without her goofing off...
