Story

We spent pretty much the whole day on the beach again. I can only handle so much beach time, so I spent most of the day in the condo reading my book. The kids played in the water and built sand castles.

Story

The Kirkhams and Stingleys got out on the beach fairly early in the morning so they could reserve a cabana and beach chairs where they wanted to. We let the kids sleep in because they were exhausted from Disney World still, and we joined them shortly before lunch. We played in the water and made an epic sand castle. Several people got a little sunburned, but we were able to keep the sunscreen on pretty thick for the most part, so it wasn't that bad. The weather was hot, and the water was too.
