And Finally...the Beach

What a gift from the Lord...the beach is one of those places where I feel closer to Him and oh so grateful. I love all of the scenery, smells, sounds...the exploring and the playing and the laughing...relaxation and happiness. So here's a collage of sorts from the beach part of our beach trip. We pretty much just head out every day and enjoy...

Love all the wide open space...

Quite possibly the cutest 9 kids on the beach...heading down the path the first day.

Cooper boys...going to college it seems.


She's getting so big...

Greer and Darcey had a great time together this year!



Where you find the big kids most of the time...playing in the ocean and riding the waves :). One thing that really hit me this year is how much I love these 6 year olds. They are growing up to be such great kids...so thankful for great friends and good kids for us to be around!


Almost a repeat of last year's pic of Gehr & Chaney...

That Ansley is a SWEETheart :)
Babies cooling it :)


Finding sea creatures...and seriously looking like teenagers.

Again, so love all the space there to play and run...



...and dance :)

Really really LOVE these girls!

:)

A windy day for good kite flying...



And Darcey's inventive way of rigging up her kite to keep her hands free!

Coming in one evening and getting hosed off...couldn't help but share the cuteness :)

Oldest and dearest buds...Gehr's hand in his pit cracks me up!

Sweet Callie and one of her cute suits...

Family time! (Why yes, there is an extra Dorman girl in their family pic. :))




More playtime...

And some serious business. Bo threw his pacis in the ocean!

And now for some Massey girls pics...

Beautiful, fun, free-spirited Greer :). Love her so much!

And sweetness personified...


Until next year...
