Yesterday Laura, Peter and I met Christine and the boys for a day of amazing fun at Colonial Beach. We met at McDonalds about 10:15 in the morning and then caravaned to the beach where we set up umbrellas and chairs, coolers, towels and blankets and then settled down for a lovely afternoon. The weather was sunny and a bit cool with the breeze off of the water. We saw several osprey nests and watched nearby fishermen pulling in several large fish. The boys made sand castles and swam, used driftwood for flotation and just had a great afternoon. Laura and I enjoyed the company of the lovely and gracious Christine. After several hours, we returned to McDonalds (the clerk said, "I see you are back!") and after getting ice cream we went on to the sea glass beach, which provided lots of rocks for the boys to throw into the river, while Christine and I strolled up and down the beach. We discussed our summer plans and hope to meet often over the summer! The day ended with that sweet melancholy, as all good things in this life must end! But Thanks Be to God for His Goodness! It was a blessed and wonderful day!
