beach fun

We haven’t spent nearly enough time at the beach this year. Been there on the weekends lots, but hardly during the week at all. Was planning on a beach week this week, but so far it’s been a bust weather wise. Here are some shots on a day I lugged the big camera down to the beach.

The ocean has been crazy rough this summer. Evidenced by Jack being taken out on the right.

Timmy can really swim now. Like I can let him go in the pool alone (while watching of course and he has to stick close to the wall- but he can do it!)Patrick:Patrick, Colleen, Erin and Jack. They’ve been friends for 9 years now. And every summer their mom and I say that that was probably the last summer that they’d hang out together, and they keep proving us wrong. I’m so glad!

Jack:A little fun with Uncle Nelson. Even though he’s moved to NJ this year, he still manages to make the transcontinental trip to the beach with us. Love me some sandy, salty, spiky beach hair!Fell asleep on the bench, on John. Hard day of play at the beach can do that to ya. Patrick trying to pretend that we’re not annoying the crap out of him. And Jack, being a good sport for me.  Hope everyone else is enjoying their summer too!!
