Pure Joy

I'm so glad she likes the beach as much as I do!  The tide was very low and the air was cool with a brisk breeze.  There was no chance she was going swimming, but she loves these little "floaties" and wore them for hours.  

My neighbor (walking buddy) and I took the grandchildren (her two and Na'iema) to Fuller Gardens.  The roses were beautiful, but I really wasn't very pleased with any of my photos.  We all really enjoyed walking around, visiting the succulent greenhouse and for the children the highlight was the koi pond (see extras).  Then we took the short drive to the beach which was the real highlight.  We exhausted them (and ourselves), had a picnic lunch, ice cream and a short evening at home with a good sleep.
