We headed back to Nana and Rich's beach house a couple of weekends ago, and this time Steve and James joined us. All of the kids loved the hot tub in the house...
If only everyone was as thrilled about the beach as they were the hot tub. Rich, Katie, Vanesa, James, and Charlotte really enjoy it. The rest of us are kind of meh about it. Personally, I have tons of fun for about 42 minutes, and then I'm ready to pack up and head back. Of course I push through until the kids are ready to go, though;)
Ready for our first family beach day of 2013...
The Brooks boys...
As you can see, James and I tried to get lots of shots of the baby while Hunter and Charlotte played.
Hunter loved to jump the waves and find mussels. He especially loved finding the "big" ones...
Grey was pretty easy-going at the beach. He didn't mind the sand or water at all, and actually fell asleep in our arms several times...
Charlotte's favorites were playing with Rich in the water or collecting mussels with Hunter...
We flew a kite, but I think I was the only one that was really into it:)
Who has time for kites, when there are waves to splash in?!?
Digging their fit into the sand...
Building a sand castle with Rich...
Grey spent lots of time chillin' in the tent...
Horseshoes!
Ready for day 2!
I wanted a picture of all of our footprints with Brooks 2013 above it, but I couldn't find a stick and the kids weren't thrilled with waiting for me to put their feet in the perfect spot. So this is the end result...
Hunter was super excited to find this huge mussel...
I don't love this picture of me, but the sunset was beautiful this night while we were roasting s'mores...
Day 3!
Last day to jump the waves...
Goofy girl...
I love this...
Our lens fogged over, but at least we attempted a family photo...
Grey had his moments, but overall was much happier on the drive home this trip...
I'm sure we'll make many memories at that beach. We're so thankful to Nana and Rich that we are able to have free family trips there!
