Thanksgiving


Today to celebrate my Birthday I packed up the kids and headed to the beach.  Most of the beaches are closed because of the hurricane, but fortunately I know a good spot to get on.  The ocean seemed very angry today.





The weather was beautiful. Typically there would be lots of people taking a walk on the boardwalk before their Thanksgiving feasts. But hurricane Sandy took all the boardwalks away. Now people just come to look.



Fortunately at this beach there wasn't much of a boardwalk, so it doesn't look completely destroyed and we can have some fun.



These dogs were having a great time too.


I so wanted to get a great picture of this dog running up to me, but Tiny insisted I get the sand out of his shoe, so I had to settle for this pic. This great dane was huge!


The hurricane has displaced many families and there were random things on the beach. Here is a light post. I have no idea what town it came from. Needless to say the hurricane has mixed some things up a bit.



It looks like the fox has survived the storm!  When I used to lifeguard on this beach we would see it.  It was nice to see it made it through the storm.




After the beach we headed to my parents for a wonderful Thanksgiving feast.  We had a great time with our friends and family.  Thank you so much to my parents for the great dinner.  I also got some wonderful presents today. Thank you Freddy, Brady, Tiny, Leanne, Liz & My Parents!

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

I'll be at my parents farm Friday, Saturday & Sunday for their Open House.  If you are in the area come on by!

Happy Birthday!

Lots of white water at the beach, but the pictures are lovely nonetheless.
