And it kept getting more and more beautiful!!!
We really had fun taking pictures with the sunset...
I love, love, LOVE the picture I took of Ryan holding Rori (below - top left corner)!!!
In addition to watching the sunset, we really wanted to film some more for the video we were making and this was going to be the perfect backdrop! I still can't show you the video, but below is a still frame taken from the video we made. (The top photo is a group picture we took and below it is the still frame.)
As we were heading back up the beach to watch the sunset, we saw these guys flying around over our heads!
That night we were up late watching movies until Matthew noticed shooting stars outside. It was a perfectly clear night, far from any city lights, and all of us (minus Rori, who was already in bed) ended up laying out on the back deck watching the Perseid Meteor Shower over the ocean for a couple of hours. Probably one of the coolest parts of our whole trip!!! It was amazing! Some were so bright they left glowing lines in the sky for several seconds after they had gone. We also caught two satellite flares where the satellites reflected the light of the sun. We would watch a satellite crawl across the sky and then out of nowhere it would just get super bright, then go back to normal. Ryan saw the first one and said it was so bright that he thought it was a helicopter with a search light at first! The one I saw wasn't quite that bright, but it definitely got brighter than normal for a second. In any case, it was an amazing night! It sparked some really good conversations and by far, this was my favorite night at the beach!
