Beach Day 6

Some sweet baby pics to start the day :)






The morning was full of good time digging in the sand, ball-playing and fishing :)










Yay!!  The Dormans are here!  They brought a fun kite too :)




Authentic, be-yourself, easy, sweet friends...so grateful for these girls!


And the guys...playing around with some picture posing :)



So good to have all the kiddos together...Greer and Darcey were covered in mud!





The original 4 :)


And the middles...playing and bird-feeding :)



The daddies enjoyed a nice ride down the beach :)



And I grabbed some couple-pics of our sweet friends...



It's hard to tell in this pic, but the wind whipped up a crazy stinging sandstorm, making it painful to be on the beach.  We were grateful once again to have a place to retreat at the house and still enjoy the outdoors! 



It was picture night, so we all headed in mid-afternoon to get showered and dressed (for the first time all week!).  Our little beach path provided a sweet little backdrop for the pics and kept us from getting too sandy before heading out for dinner.












It was amazingly quick and easy :) and then we settled the kiddos in with Elizabeth and Olivia to head out for our annual Frankie Bones dinner.  It did not disappoint :).  We gave the boys a break from picture-taking and just got one of the girls there.  This time always makes us miss even more that we don't all live in the same town like we used to.  Love all the laughing and yummy food and laughing.  :)


Wrapping up the beach week in the next post, I promise! ;)

Beach Day 5

A great day of sunshine and fun, with babysitters (yay!) arriving in the afternoon and the daddies getting in a golf game.
















(We ended up letting the kids eat mostly on the porch...nice and much less messy. :))  The Dormans arrive tomorrow...woo hoo!!
