Patience is a virtue

Today we went to the beach with our friends the Sacketts. We arrived to a very dark sky, thunder and some lightning. Our first inclination would have been to abandon any hope of success in the outing; however, we waited a bit and had a wonderful beach day. It was cloudy, breezy, dark and refreshingly beautiful. (Don't misunderstand me, I would not want such weather every time but on occasion it was nice) The kids were limited to knee deep activity because of riptides; however, alot of fun was had with a little sand, seaweed, sandfleas and good friends.
