A Day to Celebrate!

So our good friend, Mrs. Harper (Janet) turned another year older. :)

We were ALL so excited to share her special day with her and the family!

So in true, Golden-style, we embarrassed her at Golden Corral. :)

Janet, is that a new shade of blush on your cheeks?!
hee....hee....hee....

We LOVE Golden Corral!  They have SOOO much food, all you can eat, AND, a chocolate fountain!

What other restaurant serves COTTON CANDY?!

After we stuffed our bellies, we stuffed our selves into bathing suits, and headed to Clear Water Beach.
It is known as one of the MOST BEAUTIFUL beaches in America.

This is what the sand looked like.  Just covered in broken shells!

The day was just perfect.

Even though the water was seriously cold, it did not keep the kids from getting in and enjoying themselves.

We played paddle ball, football, and played in the sand for hours.

Scott set up this cute game of Beach bowling for Parker.

Shae and Zach built this fort, which was admired by many onlookers.

And for some reason, MY big boys were buried in the sand, and no one else!

Poor, poor Zach and Tanner!

We also saw dolphins swimming and even jumping out of the water several times!  This picture was the only one I could get of them.  They're so fast!

As the day went on, the sun was setting.

This was our first time to see it set on the beach!  OH!  So strikingly beautiful!

Just as it was going to down, this 'pirate' ship sailed in for a look, too. :)

It was a perfect way to spend a special birthday!

Happy Birthday Janet!


Blessings,
Steph
