Our friends got a beach bonfire permit from our town’s fire station for Saturday evening. It was a treat to watch the largest full moon in more than 18 years rise up out of the ocean. It rose orangey-red out of the haze on the horizon at 7:49 pm.
Even with the flash on, my camera picked up how spectacular the color was. Gorgeous!
We met our friends at the beach about 5:30 pm to enjoy the last hours of daylight. So many families were able to join us. People brought everything from margaritas to chocolate chip cookies to oysters. It was awesome!
This guy even delivered pizza to us on the beach! I had no idea they would do that! I’ll have to keep that idea in my back pocket for future reference 🙂
The twenty or so children busied themselves body surfing with J, playing what looked like Lord of the Flies in a big hole, making sand angels, driving toy dump trucks, finding fire wood, playing tag, wrestling- you name it! At the end of the evening they were exhausted.
The bonfire helped to warm the children after their games had been played out. It lured parents and children alike into a drowsy trance. It was a lovely evening full of fun memories and good conversation.
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend too!
