Sandcastles and sunrises!

We just returned from our week at the beach.  We had an amazing time.  And although we took over 300 pictures, we did not get a family shot.  :( But we got a lot of amazing pictures to share and we had tons of fun, if not tons of sleep :)  A super thank you to Linda and Hal for letting us crash at both their houses and thanks to Nana for coming with us.  I cannot believe we are 2 weeks away from Sam starting Kindergarten!

Sam loved almost every second of the trip.

Zoey was a little more hesitant about the water, but loved playing in the sand and letting the waves come to her feet.

Look at that joy!

Sweet smile.

Pure joy!  Sam was a great boogie boarder.

Nick built a lot of sand castles.

We spotted a dolphin.

Bubble on the beach were hard with the wind, but Olivia tried.

Sisters playing in the sand.

We tried to catch some fish, but failed.  We did see a lot of minnows though.  They were just too fast.

Nana even came to the surf.

Another sandcastle.

Zoey being silly.

 Daddy and his girls.

Zoey also loved lying on her belly and wanted me to join in.

We did manage to catch a ghost crab.

And we saw a lot of sunrises.

Nick even stayed up for one moon rise.

He was not up for sunrise that morning, but both girls were.  And even though you cannot see the sun because of the clouds, I got a great picture of my sweet girls.

More sheer joy.

Until next year...
