My Hubby is Very Talented

Here is a homemade TV box for our van.

Today, I want to brag about my hubby.  He is very talented.  He put that box together for the kids to use the television while we go on trips.  Yes, I am very blessed to have such a wonderful husband.  I think I'm smart for picking him to be the father of my kids, too.

Father and son enjoy the beach.

Just yesterday, I was bragging about my son.  Rafael is very creative.  Can you tell where Rafael gets his creativity?  Both used wood to create something.  Both are so full of energy when they are awake.

I hope my in-laws don't mind being included in my blog.  Norma Jean says she loves my blog, and I blush.  I'm really glad that she enjoys my entries.  Her hubby is the reason we are even on this mini-vacation at the coast.  He found a small job for my hubby to do here at the coast; in return, we get to stay in a room at the resort for a few days.

I had to take this photo of the waves.

I am feeling very blessed for all the wonderful things that are happening in my life.  This is a dream for me to spend a few days at the coast.  I love the ocean waves.  I love them so much I took some pictures so I can relive the pleasure later.

Does Bigfoot wear shoes?

We also saw something strange.  It could have been bigfoot.  I don't know for sure.  It could have been someone in a costume.  Why would someone walk throughout a beach resort, wearing a camouflage suit?

Well, my readers, I hope you liked my jesting.  I hope you understand, too, that I have needed this little diversion.  Please give me some leeway.  Lest you think that I left all the homeschooling behind, I must admit that I bought some books for the kids to read, but I don't know if the books will be cracked open.  They are enjoying some time off, though, from the mundane.

This scene was full of teachable moments.

Science abounded at the beach.

We did find a few good seashells under the pier.  We saw some vegetation washed up ashore.  We saw as the waves rushed in and out.  My oldest, Gabriel, noticed that the water had come some distance inward, onto the beach; he could see a boundary.  He also noticed that the sand in the shadows under the pier was still wet unlike that which was in full sun.

All in all, we enjoyed our first day here at the coast.  Hoping to get some rest.  Still want to do a blog a day.  Need to finish up my sixth of seven writing assignments.  More than anything, I want to sit in front of the ocean waves and get lost in their ebb and flow.

How about you all, my readers?  Did you get to enjoy a relaxing Spring Break?  It is off-season already.  We beat the crowds afterwards.  If you homeschool, do you try to beat the crowds?  I recommend trying it out because you might get some good deals.

God bless you all with His peace and wisdom, in Jesus' name.  Amen!
