Friend's Birthday and Beach Bash

Our friend's daughter's birthday was last week. We all got together and celebrated her first year at Asilomar beach.

It was a gloomy day but it didn't dampen our fellowship time. We had a few patches of sunlight that would break through and the menfolk kept us warm with a cozy fire.

It was a beautiful beach. The kids stayed busy finding small treasures in the water; the hermit crabs were a favorite.

Here is Violet's first encounter with sand. We have walked on the beach and sat on the beach but I haven't really spent time with her in the sand. She seemed to enjoy it, and of course a fist full of sand reached her mouth more than once.
 

She is hiding under the sunhat.


The birthday girl. Ellen is number one! She is an absolute doll!

The menfolk.

Sweet time at the beach with sweet friends. We are very thankful for the fellowship God has provided here in California.

Looks like a good time was had by all!
In my mind California=hot. So it's strange to my eye to see you guys all bundled up, especially when it hit 96 here today!
