Blues on the Beach

Tonight we drove to Pensacola Beach and had a wonderful time listening to some blues and classic rock from a local band. The weather was perfect and the breeze from the Gulf of Mexico was slightly cool, taking the humidity away to make for a very comfortable evening. Zak and Brooke played on the sand dunes for awhile and then later Brooke played with the daughter of a man whom Donnie works with.

Zak ventured out on his own tonight which made me a little nervous but I know that there comes a time when children want more independence. There were probably over a couple hundred people there and many at the beach and he wanted to go take a dip in the Gulf without me or his dad by his side. :-) So, although I was nervous, I was excited too, for him. It did relieve another fear which was that "will homeschooling mean children who never want independence?" The answer is a resounding "no", in their own time, they will want independence.
