There are few things in this world more beautiful than the way waves crash on the shore, especially when illumined by the glow of a full moon. There are moments when joy is multiplied ten thousand times and spills over into contagious laughter. There is a quiet that calms a weary soul and brings peace where there was turmoil. There are friendships that God gives that will encourage in just the right ways. There are days when God's extravagant gifts are so evident a person would have to intentionally try to ignore them for them not to overwhelm a soul. There were all these elements in our vacation. It was completely undeserved rest from the everyday and we are so thankful for our time away. Interestingly enough, we were glad to get home where luxury doesn't prevent our faith from being tested more frequently:) More specifically...
Andrew loved the water and the beach.
Elijah loved the beach... not the water so much.
We had the privilege of taking all the kids putt-putting; a favorite Abernethy pastime. Here they all are in the van entertaining themselves!!!
And here are the boys sinking holes-in-well, whatever it took. We didn't keep score this time:)
The boys got to touch an alligator. He was quite docile!
Our last night at the beach was spent catching ghost crabs. You should have seen Andrew go after them with his pail!
Everyone celebrating with lots of ice cream.
