Happy Toes!

My feet really love my new ice skates, but my toes have been looking forward to something more summery....the sandy beach!  Finally, yesterday, I got myself to the beach on a sunny day.  My toes couldn't have been happier than they were there in the sand.

After stopping by school to check for mail (boohoo...I had nothing in my mailbox), I went to Long Branch Beach, New Jersey with one of my old teacher friends.  We had a lot of fun talking in the sun. We also took time to walk around the town to shop.  Then, we ate dinner outside while watching the lifeguards practice their swimming in the ocean.  It was a great time!

I sent my friend, Katie, a postcard a few weeks ago.  The postcard had directions on the front about how to build a sandcastle.  I thought it was so cool to hear that she brought my postcard down to the beach with her to follow the directions to build her own sandcastle.  I think I'll send some more fun postcards out soon!!  Would you like one?  Leave a comment to let me know...or write me a letter to let me know.
