Family Beach Trip!!!

We are so blessed with the most wonderful neighbors that let us go to their beautiful beach home every summer.  We get to spend 7 days without worrying about schedules or well anything we get up when we get up, eat when we are hungry and make tons of memories!! I cannot tell you how much I look forward to this trip every year it is priceless to me.

I tried to get a picture of all three kids jumping at once...then I thought well I could photoshop it together...but that's cheating.  We had lots of laughs trying!

Out of the series this one was my favorite I love the looks on their faces.

I love that my kids love to clown around...this is Ty digging in the sand...

Brock being cool

Haley being beautiful

Pictures with Dad

Pictures with Mom, Haley may be as tall as
me next year?!

Haley's silly side!  

What a cutie!  He is getting so big!

One of the most wonderful things about having a whole week is that if it rains or its too cloudy then we can go do something else and not feel guilty for not being on the beach.  Lance had the great idea to take the kids on the ferry over to Dauphin Island.  They thought it was neat to take our car on the boat over. The only down side was there was a REALLY loud horn as we were leaving and it caught them all off guard...lots of tears at first!

Our children have no fear of the ocean...moments after this Ty ate a wave and he was so shocked...I love the way you can see the sunset in the background!

Another thing the boys love doing is catching sand crabs at night.  They go out there armed with their nets and flashlights...this one looked a little bigger until Lance opened his hand.

Annual on the porch shot.

The kids fishing with Lance one night.  Lance took a casting net to catch their bait fish and that was as entertaining to all of us as the actual fishing.  He was really good at it and caught quite a few!

Every year we get one picture that just happens that the spacing is right and everyone is looking...this year this was it!  I really like it!

More silly faces

Ty finally got still long enough for me to get an individual picture of him.  He is such a sweetheart.  We spent one day at Waterville and he was so excited that he was able to ride every slide.  He and Brock amaze me the bigger and scarier looking the slide is the more they love it!  Haley and I joined them for all of the tube slides but we let them do the body slides while we went around the lazy river.  The boys got to surf on the thing that shoots the water at you and both of them loved it and did really good!  Haley loved the go carts for the first time.  She loved them so much we rode them again! We played mini golf twice that week and got to eat lots of seafood.  I can't wait until next summer!!
