We got to spend today with one of our most favorite people...Katie! Katie is a former student of both Jason and I and she has literally captured our hearts. It's been really hot at home so we headed off to the coast today. 65 degrees felt frigidly cold compared to the 98 degrees at home.
This sand mountain was so hard to climb. Every time you took a step you sunk lower and lower into the sand, and slid down the hillside. We were trying to seek refuge from the wind. The beads of sand banded together and formed strong whips that were painful to any exposed skin! By the time I reached the top of the hill I literally had a load of sand in my pants because I had fallen so many times!
We decided to go to a different beach in hopes of encountering less wind factors. However, it was still VERY windy. We constructed this fort, which took most of the afternoon. We were determined to find a warm place that was less sandy and windy.
Jason and Katie were finishing the last touches before the three of us climbed in with our blankets.
.....still trying to patch up any holes that might let the sandy wind through!
Ahhhhhhh....finally a warm place that shielded us from the sand and wind. We all snuggled inside enjoying the warmth, shelter, and rested for a while! It was REALLY fun. Afterwards we headed to the DQ for a cold blizzard. ...go figure!
