We've been staying up late. We didn't get home from the beach last night until after 11 p.m. We brought tons of sand home with us and I spent half the day sweeping, vacuuming & mopping it up. (company's coming)
All you'd have to do is pull up our lint catcher in our dryer to know how often we go to the beach. What doesn't make it's way into our house finds it's way there via towels, clothes & blankets.
Glenn and 2 of his best friends, Jordan & Matt, that he grew up with. They both decided to become doctors and since Glenn didn't want to be a copycat he went into business. They all hail from Northern California but made their way South one at a time.
I am not sure who's idea it was to make a million red vines available to the kids but for the record I am appalled!
I did try and be responsible and make them stop playing on the lifeguard tower since it did say 'Keep Off '.
After they all got in a few more jumps. Dang, it was keeping em busy too.
My kids love getting their grubby little hands on an ice cold soda.
Ethan's a little bit cold.
Just because I'd rather have a blurry picture of me loving Lila taken by a kid then no picture at all.
These are great photos, Marie! Makes me want to come to play on the beach with all of you! Looks like such fun!
ReplyDeleteBlurry pictures can be amazing!
ReplyDeleteI'd stay out late, too, if we lived near a beach like this!
I'm trying to squash the jealousy right now, Marie. This looks like the very best way to spend the summer. You all look so happy and healthy! The proximity to the beach is the one and only thing I miss about living in Florida. It would likely take me 8 hours to reach a shore now.
ReplyDeleteI actually dreaded going when the kids were babies because it was so much work and my oldest would run to the water while I was nursing Ethan and Lila would be eating sand and need a diaper change etc... but now it's the best fun.
Deletemy gosh i love these photos!! but i also just really, really adore the beach.
ReplyDeleteand a bucket of redvines. a party is incomplete without them!
What a fantastic time indeed. The picture of you and Lila is lovely, even if it is a wee bit blurry, the love still comes through.
ReplyDeleteHave a fantastic weekend Marie!
Marie I love the first picture and the last. That beach looks really clean and nice. I love the beach and the fires and all of it. Glad you are having a great summer we love you and miss you, thanks for calling and checking in-talk to you soon.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Shauna
Your hair is getting long-looks pretty :)
I haven't cut it since Oct. It's feeling very neglected.
DeleteAwww! Fun! I wanna go to the beach! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the fuzzy picture...it has character. ;D

Your life is so picturesque! What a beach, what friends and family, what fun! (And oohhh, how does sand manage to just get everywhere like that??)
ReplyDeletePicturesque yes, but also real, crazy, sad, hard, beautiful & a work in progress. Just like everyone else I guess.
DeleteI've probably said this before but you are making such wonderful memories for your children!
ReplyDeletePersonally, sand = yuck! Not a beach baby, I!
There's pretty much sandy grit on my floors all summer long. There's no escaping it!
DeleteAs soon as I saw that bucket of red vines, my stomach grumbled.
ReplyDeleteIs that bad?
Looks live a divine time! SoCal definitely has its charms, among them beaches and warm weather. Sigh.
Such good fun! I want to go on a vacation. to a beach side! its been so long!
ReplyDeleteThis makes me really miss the beach.
ReplyDeleteI think that it's wonderful you all spend so much time at the beach. My childhood memories of summer are absolutely overrun by time spent by the water. It's a great way to pass the time!
ReplyDeletep.s. That really is quite the bucket of red vines!
These photos really warm my heart. You are so blessed with a beautiful family.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely day at the beach - wish I was by the sea!
ReplyDeleteI can feel the summer happiness exuding from these photos! Love it.
ReplyDeleteOn one hand I cringe at the lack of structure that summer offers...and on the other hand? I love the fact that the sun is out until super late and that bedtime is sort of optional.
ReplyDeleteStill...I LOVE September. :)
Great photos...hope you are enjoying the fabulous weather Marie!
Beautiful pictures! It looks like your family is having lots of fun this summer.
ReplyDeleteI'm extremely jealous-I would love to live near the beach!
It sounds like you had a blast!
ReplyDeleteOh these beach pics look like so much fun. Love your blurry picture, I feel the same way... better a blurry picture than non at all.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you guys had an amazing day at the beach. So fun! :)
ReplyDeleteYou really are one cool ass mom. You all seem to really know how to have a good time. That first photo is breath taking, btw.
