Brotherly love!

After 3 days of dreary rain, gray skies, a treasure hunt that culminated in the finding of a new raft (the one in the picture) and movies in the camper, the sun has finally shown itself and we have gotten to spend the afternoon on the beach (well, the boys and I have...while Meghan and Lanie are out enjoying shopping with no real time constraints). But not before we paddled a few miles in the kayak this morning. I ferried the kids around the bay and they had fun looking for fish and crabs while I got a little exercise. We have a few more days of our vacation left and I hope the weather stays nice for us. It has been a great time so far and we have enjoyed time together as a family and with friends. The Rigsbys are camped next to us now...and the Harts were there last week. I must say that having a career which allows me the time to spend a couple of weeks on vacation with my family is truly a blessing. I wouldn't know what to if I had to live for 2 weeks of vacation per year. I guess we need to enjoy it while we can. More pics to come...
