Just another day in paradise.....

My goal during the summer is to take the kids to the beach at least once a week. With that in mind, last week I loaded up the van with my family and Linda and her boys. It was a near perfect day! I find that time goes by way too fast when I'm relaxing at the beach - it seems that 4 hours is never enough. I can't wait to go one last time this week before school starts next Monday. This summer has flown by!

Parker, Erin and Bryant indulge my over-obsessive need to get group pictures of them.

Erin has a LOT of reading to do for her AP European History class. She wanted to stay home to read in peace, but I thought reading at the beach would be much better. I'm not sure if she agreed with me.

Parker didn't waste any time getting his sand toys out. The boys started digging their holes right away but were soon distracted since the waves were so good.

Bryant and Emmett dug their holes next to each other. I think the plan was to tunnel between them, but that never happened. Maybe next time.
