The Beach

After the game we headed south to Gulfport Mississippi. The sand was very fine and light yellow and the water was actually warm. It was 90 degrees when we got there. There was a lot of stuff that was washed up to shore. They said it was from hurricane Katrina. There were like shirts and junk. It was kind of weird. Mindy found a milk crate and carried it all along the beach picking up every single shell she found! Makayla loved running and sliding hands first into the sand. Mia loved being in the water. She would pick up sea shells and throw them in the water (she loves to throw rocks into water at home). She was funny because she didn't care that she was getting her dressed soaked. She was having fun! We took a family picture and it looks like we have a bunch of orphans kids! They look so ragged but we all had such a blast! By the time we were ready to leave Mindy had quite a collection of shells. We somehow got her to narrow it down to 7 of her favorite ones. She also got a water bottle full of sand. All the girls were covered in sand...my car is going to have to be vacuumed more than once to get all the sand out! Mia had to ride back to the hotel in just her diaper. I'm so glad we decided to go to the coast. It was Makayla and Mia's first time. Mindy was only 5 months old when we went to the beach in Florida so it felt like the first time for her too. We had a great time and are exhausted after a long day!!
