On Vacation! ~ Mercer Mondays
The end of June means a few free days for our family! We took full advantage of that and went down to the cabin at West Hawk Lake.

Every day was good beach weather.



Jump

Sonnet loved playing in the sand. For hours at a time she would shovel, pick up sand and play with water.

Marching down to the boat.

Our lives are like a spark, or maybe footprints in the sand. There for a moment and then extinguished or washed away. Cherish the moments you have with your family.

They may all too soon be gone.
