We spent last week at Fripp with my family. When I got home, so many little thoughts kept sneaking into my head so I started writing again...
1. Sand follows you home as the tiniest reminder of memories.
2. My best friends are related to me.
3. Sleeping in the bed with my boys is both precious and painful.
4. Kids will poop on the beach. In. Their. Bathing Suit.
5. Seashells look different in a small 3 year old hand.
6. When even one person is missing, the beach house is too quiet.
7. Not having cell service is sometimes a blessing.
8. Dodgeball can be a contact sport and, according to Taylor, requires stretching.
9. A group of well-organized teenage girls can beat a group of well-jocked men. See number 8.
10. Rummicube is different without Nana.
11. Lollipops and jello are appropriate breakfast foods.
12. When served correctly, goldfish can be served as an appetizer.
13. Comfort sometimes comes just in seeing someone's face.
14. The grill was worth it...thanks guys.
15. Just when I think I know my family, we go back to Fripp and my eyes are opened.
16. Quite simply, love is family.
Terrific blog, Misty! Sounds like an incredible time at the beach, in so many ways. Lovely picture of your family as well!
ReplyDeleteWow Misty! So much fun to read your blog and see your family. When did everyone grow up? Tell your mom and dad hi for us. We are now living in South Florida (job transfer). Mark, wife Bronwyn and 3 year old Bennett are visiting and we've also had a blast at the beach this week. Kisses - Donna Donnelson
ReplyDeleteI am just reading this post for the first time. Can you tell I am a little behind on my reading?? This post seriously made me laugh out loud and tear up a little. So perfect for a family vacation - what a great way to remember.
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday! Hope you had a great one!
