Collecting treasures, sharing a house, skimming, shopping for wallets, and eating at our favorite spot...these teens were wonderful together on our trip to the beach. It was such a relaxing time sharing a home by the ocean with five teens who all enjoyed life and the simple gifts it has to offer. Preparing for the trip for weeks ahead, packing the cars so that everybody could take all they wanted(boards, guitars, clothes, makeup,etc.), filling the time with everybody's wants and needs, playing pingpong, enjoying time listening to Clark's singing and playing the guitar(quite a priveledge), breakfast on the deck, making breakfast on our return(Thanks Jordan), helping to repair boards, these teens worked together and enjoyed sharing their Holiday. It was once again a time for refueling my energy with time spent next to the ocean and one Wayne and I could enjoy peacefully because we traveled there with five young people who were able to enjoy each other and give with no expectations. There was no schedule and life ran calmly and beautifully as it does each time we leave life behind and once again travel to our favorite spot.

It seems like just yesterday that we were sitting in that restaurant and hanging out on that very beach. The pictures from here on up are so similar to the ones that were taken when I was there. Britt even has the same pose on the chessboard if I’m not mistaken. I miss you guys so very much and I can't wait to come out again.
