The journaling reads:
Grumpy and Mee-Maw took the girls and Mama to Atlanci City during a recent visit to Pennsylvania. The Condo, Flagstaff Resort, that we were staying at had a beach front access on the bay of the Atlantic Ocean. With the girls being so little we decided that it would be best to go to the bay instead of the actual beach. This way, going to the bay, we knew we wouldn’t have to deal with the parking, the traffic and the many people who would be on the beach. When we got to the beach on the bay, we were excited to see that not a lot of people were there meaning Mama could let her guard down on her girls! Mee-Maw and Mama laid out the beach blanket while Grumpy and the girls checked out the freezing cold water. While the weather was nice and hot, the water in the ocean was about 60 degrees--freezing! At first, none of the girls wanted to go in the water so they played in the sand. Before you knew it, the girls were splashing around in the water not even noticing the cold temperatures! The girls enjoyed the water very much as the waves were not crashing them down but they were a little dissapointed that they didn’t have very many waves. The girls played on the beach for about an hour, while Grumpy checked out the pier that had been destroyed earlier this year by a store. Mee-maw read a book and said ‘this is how I would love being on the beach, just me and my book basking in the sun.’ Mama walked around and tok photos of the girls playing, building sand castles, sand angels as well as the beach itself. It was such an enjoyable time on the beach with the lack of people, the sea breeze and the not-so-rough waves! The girls favorite thing to do was walk the beach, looking for shells. At one point, Madalyn went for a walk with Grumpy looking at the area, trying to find shells while Baleigh went for a walk with Mama looking for shels as well. Baleigh and Mama walked one edges of the beach all the way to the other side, which really wasn’t that long, but stil! On the way back, Madalyn caught up with Mama and Baleigh to inform them that Grumpy was ready to leave so we packed up our shells and headed back to the blanket when a little girl asked the girls if they could swim with her. Mama said they could swim for a few minutes, which turned in to an hour before Grumpy found them and told us he was leaving. We packed our things and said goodbye until next year!
