Atlantic Beach with Family, October 27-31

 

Ah - back to the Atlantic!

We are in Atlantic Beach in a spell of cool weather which is very comfortable and one day it rained and we read and chatted the day away.

James and Michael

   We are here for Christina's birthday, a first. We went to a barbecue in Atlantic Beach  to celebrate with them and were able to eat outside. James (almost 8), Sawyer (6) and Ziggy (2) had a blast because the restaurant has a wide open area with games and plenty of running space. 

    One day we ventured onto bikes and rode to the beach and a little way along the beach. This was a first for Mark for a while.

At a bistro, Amelia Island

     One day we went to Amelia Island on the ferry by Mayport and had a lovely lunch at a French bistro at the Omni resort.  We hustled home to try to pick up James and Sawyer, but the ferry was running behind, so we did not manage to pick up the children.

    One day, Barbara, Mike and Nancy went to the soccer fields and watched part of James' soccer game, coached by Chris.

     We were in Atlantic Beach for Halloween which was a lot of fun. We sat at a card table at the end of their driveway and dispensed candy to over 30 trick-or-treaters. Nancy got full-size candy bars and boxes, which was a big hit. At the end of the evening, Chris and Mike came by with their kids and family friends.
