First days at the beach

We were geared up and headed to the beach!

First morning view from our room

Daddy and Cecelia checking things out.

We were so glad to spend our first week with friends - Ryan takes the kiddos out in Theirs canoe

Girls!! Cecelia and Fiona on a canoe ride

Much of our time has been spent catching crabs...and sometimes letting them go

This great blue heron hung around for an evening and was still there in the morning but we haven't seen it since.

We are so grateful for beauty!

Getting the sailboat ready

Fitz had a big first - They lost Theirs tooth, in the middle of the night, on the 4th of July.  We found out that the tooth fairy does come to the beach...

We've loved being in the water

Ready, set, 

go!!

Pigpile on Ryan!

We were so glad Celina, Cable, Cannon, Cardin and Amanda joined us for the 4th

Scene from the water into the fun of eight kids, six adults and a dog!

The kids are loving catching (and eating) crabs!

Dinner!

Campfire

And, s'mores!

The kids and adults loved having Maggie here!

More fun on the beach with water blasters

Lots of fun kayak trips

We are so excited for our summer here!
