Ah . . . The Beach and then EEEEEK - a Spider!

Well, after my bike ride (which was an awesome workout!) we went to the beach to hang out and play! We all had a great time. The kids played in the sand and the water...so did I! They caught fiddler crabs and hermit crabs. The found awesome shells. Josh threw rocks for the longest time ever! We waded in the water, sat in the water and just generally had a good time in the water. We all got lots of sun and had fun trying to catch blue crabs. We caught two, but ended up giving them away to a couple of ladies who were trying, very unsuccessfully, to catch enough food for their dinner tonight. Then the kids and I sat in the sand on the beach and just relaxed while their dad fired up the grill and cooked some hamburgers for our dinner. We had watermelon and banana to go with our burgers. We then cleaned up and packed up and headed home. What a great day! I wish everyday were this relaxing and fun. Tomorrow I have loads to do cleaning up! I have to get all of the sand out of the truck and wash all of our beach clothes and swim suits. I also have my regular cleaning, cooking and laundry to do as well as cleaning up the bike and trailer. We also have to clean off the patio so we can store the bike and trailer. Right now it's sitting in my living room!

We also had a very creepy visitor this evening. He was large and brown and fuzzy and gross. It was a huge spider. My fiance said, "Oh, it's just a wolf spider." I said, "I don't care what kind of spider it is...it needs to be a dead spider!" I mean, really?! Does any part of WOLF SPIDER sound innocent to anyone out there? It sounds particularly heinous to me. I don't know if I'll sleep well. I still feel like his friends might be in here somewhere. I'll probably have nightmares about it. Yikes!

  1. Ha ha, I actually like spiders and will gross out my boyfriend by taking them outside instead of killing them.

    The beach sounds like it was a lot of fun and very relaxing!
