And even more fun when Glenn's able to come with us. The kids love going out in the ocean with him, they know I am a stick in the mud & only go in the water maybe once a year.
Ethan & Glenn playing ball.
Audrey, Lila and Allie in the fort they built.
It was a super fun day with lots of friends. We go with friends but also inevitably run into people we know as well. There were a lot of us & I am going to guess there were about 40 kids between us all. I am not even sure how we kept track of them all.
I guess it seemed more of a lay in the sand type of day. Here's a bunch of mom's
Finding another use for boogie boards.
Using one for real. Ethan is getting so good. Or maybe that's just the mom in me talking.
This is the closest I could get to Emry. You can't really tell but she is SO far. She is a great swimmer, pool & ocean, but she is definitely one who likes to push the limits. Either that or she thinks she's a fish.
Time to fill up the van with sand.
What a fun day (especially to be with such a big group!). I wish our ocean was warm enough to actually play in. Great pictures!
ReplyDeleteI have a confession to make - I don't do the beach! Sand is my enemy! Happy you can enjoy, though!
ReplyDeleteWe spent almost 2 hours dismantling our dryer this morning & cleaning it all out. There was so much sand lodged underneath the lint catcher, I was in shock.
DeleteI totally understand your dislike, it's a lot of work.
Awww! I'm so jelly! I used to love going to the beach with my mom when I was little :D I bet your little fishes enjoyed it ^^
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! I'm kind of jealous of people who live close to the ocean and beach. All that surf and sand and pretty blue skies, looks like everyone had a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh this looks like it was such a fun day! It made me miss home, I grew up in by the beach!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely day! Wish I lived closer to the beach, I'm stuck in London on the trains at the moment and it's BAKING outside! My mum used to complain that I filled the car up with sand too :)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like an awesome day!
ReplyDeleteMarie, looks like a perfect way to spend a Saturday! I'm still in the "high alert" stage at the beach with Marlowe but one day I'll be able to relax again! :)
ReplyDeleteOh I totally remember those days, stressful because no matter how young Emry was she went straight into the ocean far.
DeleteYou're not a brat!! You just know how to take advantage of the great ocean you live next to!! Do your kids surf? I've always wanted to learn to do that!!
ReplyDeleteThey're learning. Emry went on Saturday and got up. Lila is still a little afraid and Ethan is easing into it with the boogie board, which he uses like a surfboard :)
DeleteGorgeous photos!! Beach time is perfect. I love the girls' fort, what a fun idea!! Now I need a vacation... :)
ReplyDeleteAh man, that looks REALLY fun! Nothing better! Count me in next time for sure (I'll just hop on my imaginary private jet and parachute down for lunch!)
ReplyDeleteBeing at the beach always seems endlessly fun when youre a kid! Looks like they're all having a great time.
ReplyDeleteThe weather looks incredible! You took some great pictures. I'm glad that you had fun!

We're going to the beach in two weeks....I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteIt would be glorious to be out on the beach and stumble across you and your family. My girls would have a blast and so would Chris and I.
ReplyDeleteThe weekend was gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOne of these days I want to drive down south and hit the beach with you and your family. I have a feeling we'd have a fantastic time and Maya? She'd have an even better time!
Great pics my friend. You and your friends are all model-material.
It sounds so good!
ReplyDeleteI miss the beach...
ReplyDeleteYou are a brat. :)
ReplyDeleteI am not a beach person, but this makes me REALLY want to live near the beach! Our beaches here around about 3 hours away, and they're just not nearly as pretty or clean.
wow!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had such a great time. And your photos are great. And I want to go to the beach now!
Wonderful pictures! Every time I see you post beach pictures, it makes me wish I lived closer to one.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could have "another" day at the beach. You all are so blessed to be close to the beach and have so many friends for the kids to pal around with. Makes the trip a bit less stressful I am sure, if you aren't the one who is always in charge of entertaining.
ReplyDeleteGoing to the pool is so hard with little ones! When I lived in Turkey I LOVED living by the water, but the mountains are nice too. I just love living in the nature that God created!
