Birthday and Beach

Ethan...what a handsome young man!

Ethan is 15!  We celebrated Ethan's birthday with cake, ice cream, gifts, and plenty of noise and laughter!  Ethan really wanted to go to the beach, but the day of his birthday turned out to be rainy, so we postponed the beach for another day.  Late Sunday afternoon we walked to the beach from the guest house where we are staying.  It wasn't a tourist beach, but a beach for the local people.  Not a well groomed beach, but sand, warm water, and treasures nonetheless! 

Kids contemplating the water...is it really warm? Of course it is...we are  no longer in Alaska!!

Adams always the charmer!

Uncle Dennis...a kid at heart!
