Summer fun 2012

I wouldn't blog so much of my kids weren't so darn cute! It seems a shame to let all of these adorable pictures from the beach last weekend and our first week of summer to go to waste so here we go!
There is nothing better than a game of cards and some snacks to end the day at Grammy's beachouse!

My little beach baby could not wait to get out on the beach! When we woke upat 8 am the tide was out and there were ten sandbars just waiting to be explored!


Lizzie was not thrilled about the seaweed that comes along with low tide but she loves to play in the sand and could do it for hours on end.



Annie loves the beach and anything associated with it. Here she is letting a little hermit crab crawl up her arm!

We brought our sixth child (Lucas) along for the weekend and it was the first time we were able to give them a bit of freedom to walk on the beach alone, go down to the park and not be in our sight every second. They loved it!

Papa set the girls up with their own little table to eat lunch at.

Papa's girls!

Annie eating her ice cream - Grammy always has plenty of ice cream available at the beachhouse.

Auntie Meg and Lila loving their ice cream.


Our first harvest from our garden - 2 tiny little cucumbers.

The three littles dressed for the day with accessories and everything.


We had nothing to do on Saturday so we decided to head up to the RH park pool for a swim. The kids had a blast.

Molly and Ellie swimming in the baby pool. There was a chemical issue in the big pool so everyone had to swim in the baby pool.

My Molly Girl!

Ellie Bean loving the pool! The poor kid - no matter how hot it is out she is freezing when she is in the pool.

Molly took Ellie in the big pool.



Once we swam a bit we all ran down the hill at the park.

Our four girls running down the hill.

I love my girls!


Once they ran down the hill they had to roll down the hill.

My five beautiful children tired and ready for some ice cream and sleep after a long day at the park and pool.
