Beach Trip - Day 7, Our Last Hoorah

Well, Friday is here. Believe it or not, the week did not go by as quickly as I imagined it would. I'm grateful for that. I tried to savor every moment spent with my family. We certainly do not do this often enough. Our stay has been tremendous.

This morning we went to the beach to take advantage of the beautiful weather we were having. It was in the 60s today, and was sunny all day until this evening. Perhaps what I will always remember the most was The Erdman Turkey Bowl football game we played on the beach.

It was Skip & Andrew vs. Jonathan & Ben. Dad was all time QB. Believe it or not Skip and Andrew won. We only played to 5. They won 5 to 4. We were terribly out of breath even though we didn't play very long. My legs are still sore and it is close 10:30 at night.

Ben left out this afternoon to head back to Mt. Ulla, NC to watch West Rowan football win over Carver and advance to the next round of playoffs. Ben is nothing short of a hometown hero there since it is where he graduated high school and really began to shine as a kicker.

Dad and the guys hit the surf for some more fishing mid afternoon. I was about to join them when Nathaniel woke up all out of sorts. I decided to stick around and give Ashley a hand. Just so happens that's when the fish were coming in real good. But, in the end, I will not even remember how I missed out on fish. All I will remember is the time we spent together.

Our supper was a combination birthday party for all the birthdays we didn't get to celebrate. Since we cleaned out the fridge for lunch, we ordered pizza for supper. We put candles in the pizza and sang Happy Birthday to everyone. It was great.

I attempted to fish more this evening, but with no luck. Time to pack up and get ready to head home in the morning. I'm actually ready. I've enjoyed my time with the family, but it's time to get back into our routine and get ready for this baby to come!
