4th of July – Off the Farm
For the 4th of July we took a mini vacation and went to the beach. My son and daughter played on the dunes as the sun went down. These two are thick as thieves. Inseparable.
We love the gulf coast beaches because the sand is like sugar. It doesn’t burn your feet when you walk like the sand we had in Fort Lauderdale. This is Gulf Shores Beach in Alabama (sometimes referred to as “the Redneck Riviera”) Redneck or not, we love playing on these gorgeous sandy dunes!
Life on the farm is fun, but it’s great to take a break and spend the weekend somewhere different. It helps recharge our batteries and prevent “burnout”. Days like these are priceless.
Hope you all had a Happy 4th of July!

Wow, I had no idea that the gulf coast had such gorgeous beaches! And your two little ones look so delighted to be there together. We just took three of our grandchildren to an island in the Bay of Fundy for a week – it rained most of the time, but we had a good time anyway. The kids went in the water most days, regardless of the fog and cooler weather and water. The 4 yo and 6 yo are close to the same size and get along (most of the time) like loving siblings.
Glad you had a great retreat!
