The Beach....

Finally.... Here are some beach highlights.

I have narrowed it down to my favorite 250+ out of the 1200+ that I took at the beach. 

I took all of these pictures in manual mode.

I did have to tweak a few in editing but I think for my first time out in manual I didn't do that bad.

I am still learning...

A walk to the play ground!

Crazy wind on the way back from the play ground.

This is one of my favorite pictures from our beach vacation.

Grandma reading her book in the mist of our chaos of crazy kids.

Grandma looks beautiful, I love this picture.

When you ask Kylie what was your favorite part of the beach, she will tell you the dance party every night

The pool being right at the house was AWESOME!

After baths and naps you would find Bella and Jaxson chillin in one of the family rooms.

Jaxson thinks he is really cool with the remote (he doesn't know it's a decoy that doesn't work).

While the babies and Kylie took a nap, I escaped to the hammock.

The view from the beach to the house.

Lets go fly a kite

Jaxson protested the sand at first but it didn't take long for him to play in it.

Jaxson paused from protesting the sand to check out some girls.

Bella was moving sand from bucket to bucket.

While she was going from bucket to bucket she tricked me,

pretending to put it in the bucket and put it in her mouth.

Immediately she made a sour icky face and spit it out.

 A few minutes later she tried it again but that's was enough.

She decided it didn't taste very good and that was all the sand she ate during this trip.

Daddy made sand sculptures.

It's a twista...

well really a water spout.

It made for great pictures.

We had two birthdays during the week at the beach.

Aunt Michelle's and Uncle Bernie's.

It's raining out on the ocean.

I have been trying to catch Jaxson making this face.

He does this when he thinks he did something wrong or something funny.

Uncle Matt and Aunt Emily

Playing in the sand.

We had so much fun at the beach.

These cousins are so lucky to have each other.

We are super lucky that Ally liked hanging out and playing with Kylie and Aiden.

They followed her around everywhere.

Thank you Ally for keeping them busy!

This is the perfect picture to end our beach vacation with.

A toast to the great times we all had.

With 21 people all in one house it was awesome.

The memories are priceless.

Something we and our kids will never forget!

Thank You Everyone for a great time at the Beach!
