The Miller 5

Saturday morning we headed to the beach first thing which still wasn't soon enough for the kids. When we got there, Lucas saw his friend, Tyler (Doug), and they both ran across the sand with there arms open wide and met with a big bear hug! They played all morning. Nathan was able to rent a surf board so he and Colten caught a few waves. Eventually, the rest of the clan showed up and we had a lovely day sitting in the sun, snorkeling and generally doing as little as possible. For dinner we grilled up hot dogs & shared some good laughs. Kit, Laura, Lucas and I walked up the beach a bit and saw some sea turtles making their way up the beach (Randy and I also saw one snorkeling). Very cool.

On Sunday we woke up to pouring rain. Thankfully it stopped long enough for us to get to John's for Breaking of Bread with out getting too drenched. Afterwards, we all went out for some delicious fresh fish. Colten had to leave for the airport after dinner, so we all went our separate ways. When we got home, realized the kids were not inclined to take their naps and saw a little sun poking out, we headed for the beach again. Lucas worked up the courage to go snorkeling and surprised his Mother at how well he did. He saw "hundreds" of fish but didn't get to see a turtle. Maybe tomorrow...

Showering off - a highlight for Jill.
