The last week of June we went on a trip to the BEACH!  It was LOTS of fun!  We rented a house right on the sand . . . so the kids could go out the door and play.  Zach, Kim, Declan, Brett, Maggie, Bridget and Julia shared the fun times with us.  I took LOTS of photos.  Here is the first set . . .

Cole and Henry on the beach . . . playing in the sand.  I took this photo from the back patio of the house.


Cuties.  Note Henry's favorite crown.


There was a dune right next to our house . . . Cole used it as a slide non-stop.


Josh built a wind shelter . . . these photos are "during construction" . . . I couldn't help using it as a frame.


Zach, Josh and Cole working on the shelter . . . and Maisie, BURIED!  Declan helped!


Colie-olie 


Cole and Maisie running in the water.  The beach went on and on so flat.  It was wonderful for the kids with no big waves.






Josh and Cole taking a walk . . .


Henry, oh, Henry.  




Self portrait!


More self portraits . . .




The house we stayed at . . . looking at it from the water . . .


Maisie LOVES the beach!


 

I couldn't stop taking pictures of this little cutie!
