Ship Wrecked
Our little Tropical Storm brought a few ships down with it! Because of the storm, which really wasn't much, the kids and Dustin had the day off. So we decided to see if we could find and huge shells that the storm brought in. We didn't find any whole shells, but so monster pieces. We did find two boats wrecked on the beach! It was crazy to see. Not and everyday kind of thing.
The first beach we stopped at.
Our second stop. Our adventure began as we walked along were there use to be beach, in the bay to get out to the ocean beach. It was fun, but the water was cold. A first for the kids!
Finally finding beach to walk on we continued to the ocean.
An old boat that had washed up on the beach. It was torn apart, but we don't know if that was from the storm or cause it was old.
Cookies!!! Best Ever Cookies!!!
So I took a few ideas, and recipes and made my own cookie recipe, that is the BEST EVER! I could eat all the cookie dough alone in no time! So if you want to try something new, try these!!! I had trouble with them going flat, but I think it is because my kitchen is cool. They taste good flat too!!!
