Visit from the Sharps Part 2 - Beach and Halloween Cupcakes

The day after going to Dewberry farm we had planned on taking it easy. Instead we made a spontaneous trip to the beach. All the boys LOVED the beach and we had some good times building sandcastles, dumping water on the sandcastles (Caleb and Melissa's oldest especially), running in the waves, and chasing seagulls. Zach started feeling pretty sick part way through so that was our cue to head home. 

A big damper on the trip was having a piece of tire come flipping across the highway while driving home. I wasn't able to dodge it so it punched a big hole in the bumper of our new van that we have only owned for about 2 1/2 weeks. (A couple of weeks and little over $700 later it looks good as new again.)

We also managed to squeeze decorating Halloween cupcakes into the visit. Here are the results:
