French Toast and No Screens

One thing that sticks out to us here is there are no screens on the windows! Being here on the beach there really are no flys coming in and disturbing our french toast breakfast with golden syrup. The butter here, even the budget friendly version, is dark yellow and so yum. Gideon thinks its cheese, and his own personal food group. The heavens opened up when Bryce opened up a kitchen cupboard and, BLAMO, THERE WAS AN ESPRESSO MACHINE!!!! Like, what!?!? Little barista Bryce pushed up his sleeves and made 2 sick cups of joe. THANK YOU JESUS. That little cup of life made a 4:30am wake up sooo much better. The weather is still, well, not so great, BUT, its better than SNOW! We are going to hang here today and enjoy the beach, rain or no rain. But first, its school time! Reading, and journaling time!
.........a few hours later.......

Just ate lunch and had a fantastic morning on the beach! NO rain.
We played in the surf till we got chilly then were super distracted after we found Blue bottle jelly fish! Yes, they sting. They literally look like something out of this world! We then took it upon ourselves to rid the beach of them! This took us down the beach towards the rocky coast full of tidal pools and tons and tons of amazing discoveries! The pack rats in all of us, well except Bryce, want to bring back buckets full of shells and stones. We are planning on going back out in a bit to rediscover that amazing eco system! The cousins have arrived and now the boys have some play mates!
2nd up of my baristas creation inhaled, now back to the sand!

My pockets are full of shells (Aunt Michele and my Dad would be LOVING this!)
