Kelly and I treated ourselves to a pedicure ~ my very first. It was wonderful. Happy Nails, indeed!

The sky cleared, a nice cool breeze blew, so we headed to the sand and waves and read and ate and snoozed. Someone was flying this neat kite ~ looked like a pelican.

Neil and Knox playing in the sand ~ Neil kept trying to build a sand castle ~

Smokin! Kelly noticed that this cloud formation made the buildings look like they were on fire

Happy toddler toes in the sand

Knox was running in and out of the water ~ the sand under the water is very uneven in places and you can suddenly drop off into deeper water ~

~ which is what happened to Knox who fell in face first ~ getting a taste of salty sea water didn’t upset him at all

We had an unusual supper ~ Neil and Kerry bought some fresh shrimp ~ Neil shucked the shells and Kerry Googled a good way to boil it ~ and it was really good with the homemade cocktail sauce they bought and a slice of cheese ~ the meal was unusual because

we also enjoyed homemade chili which was yummy, too ~ can’t say that I’ve ever had these two dishes together but it was all good

Looks like a great day at the beach despite the rain. Glad you got a pedi. They're nice. Your nails look great! The shrimp and chili looks fab! Sorry Knox took a header into the water. A mouthful of saltwater is not fun.
