Just Knitting on the Beach

Last night while my kids were at our church's youth group. Freddy and I went down to the beach. I just happened to have my knitting with me and one of my finished patterns. I can't wait to release it!!! For now I have to keep it secret, but in the mean time I got to work on one of my samples of it on the beach while we waited for the boys.  I even got some pictures of me in one of the finished samples. All my yarn came in and I'm ready to send it out to all my test knitters!!! I am so excited about this pattern.

I am also so excited for Summer and the beach!!!!!


For reading I just started "Echo in the Bone". The next book in the Outlander series I'm ready. I still can't get enough of these books!

Since the beach was so nice last night we took the kids back up to the beach and had dinner and then played on the beach until the sun set. I can't wait to have these boys home from school so we can play.

Warmer Days


We decided to spend the kids Spring Break in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. We packed up our camper and headed south for warmer weather!


After the what feels like never ending Winter we were very happy to be greeted by warm sunny beaches and heated outdoor pools. Ahhhhhh so nice.


Pelicans



Some knights from Medieval Times popped by the campground to put on a show.  Such fun. We were cheering for the blue knight and he won :)


We went down to Myrtle Beach following friends of ours. When we got to the campground we met friends of our friends. Then our friend brought out a tug of war rope and within minutes we had even more friends :)


 
Tiny was running along the beach at low tide and hopping in little puddles.  He was in all his glory and he asked me, "Mommy do you wish you were a kid and could jump in puddles all day?" I told him if I didn't have my camera on me at that moment I would have joined him. 

 
It was Rudee's first camping trip and she turned out to be a camping pro. She was a very good girl the whole trip.  For a 9 month old puppy she gets an A++.





I think we could spend all day looking for shark teeth. It is too relaxing. Ahhhh warm weather.


More puddle jumping.



Not a bad view from our campsite!


I was so impressed how Rudee would just lay back and watch dog after dog and bike after bike go by and she just chilled out as cool as a cucumber.  Such a good girl. Of course when we were out and about she got to play with lots and lots of dogs. I think she thought this was her vacation.



Our family really loves camping. This was our first trip with our camper and we were making plans the whole way home for our next trip. It took us 20 hours to get to the campground and it took us 15 hours to get back home. So we had time to think of a lot of plans :)  I can't express enough how much fun we had and how much I enjoyed spending so much time with my family.

I can't wait to go away again!!!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday 4/15/12

I am once again joining along with Ashley of Rambling & Photo's Scavenger Hunt Sunday.  I am cheating big time this week and hopefully I will not get in trouble.  Instead of selecting one photo for several of the items chosen to photograph I posted lots of pictures.  I love putting lots of pictures together to tell a story and this week I did just that.  I promise next week I'll cut back and go back to one per item.  We just had a little too much fun getting pictures for the Scavenger Hunt this week to narrow them down to just five.

1. Simple
Playing chicken at the beach is a very simple game. The rule is to stand as close as you can to the edge of the water and to not let the waves touch your feet.













Tiny is a sore looser.

2. Grain

3. Transportation
Birds use wings for transportation.

But if you have a surf board...

and attach it to a kite. You can fly like a bird.




4. Stitch
I just finished knitting this "Springtime Bandit".  I used knit stitches and purl stitches. It reminded me of a peacock and this week we went to the zoo and saw lots of peacocks so I took some pictures of them.
 This guy was not too excited to have his picture taken. I called him Bandit after my Springtime Bandit that I was knitting.
 This peacock however was more cooperative in showing off his feathers.

5. Bubble


An Honorable Mention for Bubbles goes to Harley for putting up getting a bubble bath from the boys.
