More Vacation Memories...

After Spencer and Katie's wedding, we spent a week at the ocean in Katie's grandparents house, which they so graciously let us borrow. The house was just a short little walk to the beach, so we enjoyed lots of time in the sand and waves. Every morning, we walked to the beach at low tide and searched for shells and pretty rocks. I think the hunt for shells was Nick's favorite part of the trip...and he found quite a few! (Nick and I have our own little secret for finding shells...well, we told Farm Grandma about it too!) Gabby didn't have quite the attention span that Nick did for finding shells but she absolutely loved jumping in the waves. Mostly, we hung out on Lincoln Beach, right near the house...but we did visit a couple other beaches as well. The weather was lovely the entire week. It was a wonderful time and I wish we could just stay there forever. Here are some of my photos from the beach.

Gabby and the Gulls...

She liked to rescue starfish from the dry land at low tide and gently place them into tidepools...she was sure that made them happy.
