A Day at the Beach

This past weekend Edgar and I had the chance to spend some time with his parents at the beach. (Sorry, no pictures...I accidentally left the camera in Edgar's car...which he took to work...) We had a very nice time. His parents got a room for a whole week, and invited us to come and spend the night Sunday night. We went right after church on Sunday, and had lunch with the whole family. Ruth cooked spaghetti for all of us, and we had cake and ice cream for Eric's birthday. We spent some time in the pool and played some games. It was a very nice, relaxing afternoon.

Monday Edgar had to go to work, so I got to spend the day with his parents. It was a real treat to just lay around and read, and talk to them. Ruth got up early and went for a walk along the beach. She came back with some of the biggest sea shells I've ever seen. We sat and talked for a long time out by the pool, and then went in for pancakes and eggs :) We spent the day laying around in the pool and watching a movie. Probably the highlight of the weekend was watching Edgar's parents trying to dunk each other in the pool. I was laughing pretty hard. Ruth, unfortunately, went under :) Then dad laid in a raft that was only about 1/8 filled, and I was cracking up watching him float...or maybe sink...I'm not exactly sure which it was.

After Edgar got home he and I went for a walk on the beach. The sky was amazing! There was a tropical storm moving in, so the clouds were really cool looking. You could see it raining in the distance, and the water was starting to get rough. Unfortunately, because of the tropical storm, everyone along the beach had to evacuate, so Edgar's parents packed up a few things and headed inland for the day, so we all left together. They should be able to return today, though, so they didn't miss too much of their vacation :)

All in all we had a wonderful time, didn't get too sunburned, and are back home ready to work all week :)
