Cretsinger and Bryant kids

Sun, sand and french fries – sounds like a good day to me!  We, along with our friends, the Bryants, headed off to the beach for a day this past weekend.  I know if you look at our pictures it could seem like we go to the beach all the time.  But, it’s the only place we have to go for some family time.  There is literally nowhere else for us to spend the day.  We really needed to just relax, enjoy time with our friends, and give our kids some time with both their parents.  Even though we’re still in the middle of rainy season, we had a beautiful day.  Some day I will learn to put sunscreen on as soon as I get to the beach, but after just a 1/2 hour, I was totally burnt and have suffered for the last two days!  The hotel is barely functioning these days with no patrons, no water and no electricity, but somehow their kitchen was still open.  We had a great lunch – anytime I don’t have to cook is a great meal!  We spent the day watching the kids play football, explore the rocks, wash up on shore, and dig in the sand.  It was a great day as a family – we need those every once in a while.
