Neptune Beach Trip

I have yet to try boiled peanuts, but I'm going to!

Blaine and Colton just arriving at Neptune Beach. The sand is beautiful but the water isn't clear like in California; however, it wasn't cold so Colton loved it!

Colton loved the beach and by the end of our time he was a sandy mess!

Our Family: Hillary, Colton and Blaine

We decided to go see Jacksonville this Saturday, do some shopping at Costco and hit Neptune Beach up for fun. We were able to see two of Blaine's former mission areas (Starke and Jax Beaches) and it made me really appreciate all of his hard work on the mission. I'll never know how he biked in that humidity with a suit on (Way TO GO all you missionaries!!) In my experience, I've seen a lot of flea markets, side stands with boiled peanuts and produce, billboards galore (not always decent ones), firework stands every two miles, and a whole lot of churches since arriving in the South. We are loving every minute of our time here and trying to take every opportunity to enjoy the experience.

What a great adventure you are on together. Isn't it fun to see new places and revisit old places?

I met Blaine's brother Dallin last night, what a nice guy!

Hey Hillary dear! Blaine mentioned your blog on Facebook and I am so glad he did! It sounds like so much happiness is going on for your family! Huzzah! I tried to write an email to you about a month ago, but apparently I don't have the right address, so this is just providential! :)
