Beach Trips

We've been having so much fun going to the beach this summer. The kids love playing in the sand and splashing in the waves. We really look forward to our weekly trips to our favorite beach and the wonderful family time that we get to share!

Here's Jake all ready for the ocean!

Showing of his boogie board...he's still too nervous to really ride it with Jason but he loves being pulled around on it :-)

Little beach baby.

Nice and sandy...little kids amaze me with how being covered in sand doesn't bother them a bit.

Mady looks like she's trying to attack Jake with her big red shovel!

Building a sand castle with daddy.

Still nice and sandy.

Mady LOVES playing in the sand and trying to help build sand castles :-)

A picture with daddy.

This is Mady's new smile for the camera...she definitely learned this from her big brother.

Getting a ride from daddy.

Here are the boys flying a kite.

Mady taking her turn with the kite.

Flying solo.

Sweet girl.

So serious about his sand castle building.

My kiddos...Jake was making this face in almost every picture I took.

There's that face again...my goofy boy :-)

Mady was so excited to have a turn on the boogie board.

Jake was fascinated by his feet getting buried in the sand by the waves.

Playing with daddy.

Sandy little fingers...

...and toes :-)

Mady found a little hole filled with water that she could sit in and it kept her occupied for a really long time.

Relaxing after a long day of fun.
