Today was less exciting than yesterday. Everyone seemed to be a bit tired. We went out for a drive, picked up some supplies and then returned for lunch and naps. The sleep seemed to do us all good. We put on our suits and headed down to the beach. We ran, we played football, we dug trenches and lakes, we waded into the water. Hours slipped away, but we were all too busy having fun to notice. Until, Eli, in an expression of apparent hunger, began to attempt to eat a rock. When I took the rock away he began licking the sand of his hands. I scooped him up and brought him up for dinner. To my surprise it was 7:15! No wonder he was so hungry. As we fired up the grill, Eli sat and shoveled his dinner into his mouth. 
After a delicious meal we put some marshmallows on the grill and made some s’mores. Evan was disappointed that we didn’t build an actual fire to cook the marshmallows, but forgot all about it when the chocolate came out. As we stuffed ourselves with s’mores the sun slipped quietly behind the horizon giving us a beautiful show. A beautiful end to another relaxing day.
