Beach!!!!

Just in time for Austin's 9th birthday, we had to go to the beach for a few days to celebrate!!!  More about the birthday later.....

 Outside our rental....who can balance the best???  Right after this picture was taken we walked down to the beach for a few minutes before we left to come back home and Austin said he needed to hold on for a minute....seems when he slid onto this post he got a splinter stuck in his tooshie!!!

 Hard to believe this was the end of the vacation; look at the smiles on those kids' faces!!!!!  Plus they seem to still like each other....who are these strange characters?!?

 Don't ask.....I didn't .... just take the picture MOM!!

 Austin's sand castle.....seems I forgot to take a picture when he built it, so in the middle of the night I went back to the beach and attempted to take a picture with a device that did not have a flashlight....did not work so well....need to find that picture (smile).

We went to Tybee Island, GA and we stayed on the north shore, which is part of the inter-coastal waterway, so the sand is very different than on the front of the island....which has a very long sand portion.....anywho, this is one of the animal tracks we saw...who knows what it was!?!

We also saw MANY dolphins, which got very close to where we were swimming as it is near the channel where shrimp boats come in, so they follow the shrimp boats....very fun to watch!!
