Thank you Lord for your precious creation and time away from the every day things to enjoy it! This past weekend I was able with our family to Myrtle Beach and stay at Caravelle Resort right on the beach. We met up with my sister Jenny and her family to enjoy three nights and four days in gorgeious 80 degree weather. The beach of course was picturesque, blustery, sandy and shelly. As a child on the beach I could jump waves and run on the beach and not feel the shells under my feet. This time being now 34 and 28 weeks pregnant with our son Jakob I favored the poolside area and the fresh mango smoothies. I really enjoyed watching my 2 years old Jasmine and her cousin Ellie playing in the sand, eating the sand and knocking over any kind of castle I attempted to make. I was able to take Jasmine near the waves and let her collect sea shells. Jasmine woke us up every morning at 6 am and said "out there, Mama, swim, Mama". She absolutely loved the pool. There was a heated, lazy river and a brightly colored kids pool with water dumping buckets and one foot deep of water. She also wanted to jump off the side of the big pool into my arms. I am so glad she loves the water. She enjoyed playing with the plastic watering can and bucket that Gram Gilmore gave her and steadily filled it up the water just to dump it back out again. We spent some time playing just outside the room on the carpet of grass decorated with different tropical flowers and palm trees. The girls loved to chase eachother and giggle. At night the Jenny and I took turns reading them stories. We cooked dinner for eachother and enjoyed the company of a family we are not able to live near. I am so grateful for this time of rest and rejuvination. Thanks again Lord for this time.
