Ignoring the Forecast

According to Weatherbug, Thursday promised to be pretty much a washout.

Nearly 100% chance of rain in the forecast.

As they say, there's nothing you can do about the weather, so you might as well make the most of it.

So, we enjoyed a leisurely breakfast, which you can see was quite tasty!

Had a little piggy fun with George and Peppa,  and started a new puzzle, since the other one was complete.

And we decided that since it WASN'T raining at the time, to get sun-screened up and head to the beach.

Much to our surprise, the damp fog lifted and blue skies appeared on the horizon. 

With rain expected for the entire day, there was no time to waste!

The girls began working diligently on their creation

while the boys were busy constructing their own.

There was a slight diversion while the little guy decided that it would be fun to splash PapPap G with water from a bucket......as if the waves weren't enough!

But the girls stayed focus.

Some sea shells for the finishing touch:

And here you see the final result.

Can you guess what that is?

A Piggy in the sand, of course.  Actually, it's supposed to be Wellie.  How cute is this?

In the meantime, the guys completed a much more entertaining minion than Gramma G had managed to create.

Look closely, and you'll see that he even has a wad of hair!

By now, it seemed that Weather Bug was way off track, but we weren't complaining.

We managed to get nearly a full day in at the beach with the blue skies on the horizon.  But, if we looked the opposite direction, grey clouds and mist loomed in the distance.  Lucky for us....it stayed over the sound.

At the end of the day, we enjoyed a fabulous Spaghetti dinner, with some mood music that set the stage for a little dancing.

And we could enjoy the view over the ocean

and the sunset over the sound.

Another awesome day!
