Maybe Summer is hiding at the beach?

Here are a few beach shots,

check out that blue sky!!

Flying sand

This was our first of about 7 trips down to the sand
this time, just me & Ava.

Then Tyler came to visit!

*hugs*

...and back to the beach.

Check out those cool shades:

Here is Abby with Ava,
Ava loves Abby.
I think I have mentioned that before : )
When we arrived at the beach house Ava
got upset that we weren't going directly
to the beach. I informed her Abby was already in
the house. She says "Good. Abby will make me happy."

I don't know what Tyler is doing here:

Again, check out that sky:
Naked kids = happy kids!

De-sanding time

This picture was taken at the outlet mall.
About a minute after I took it that little boy
following Ava cracked his head open on a
park bench. I think he is ok but there was sure a
lot of blood. Poor boy, poor parents, being a
parent sure can be stressful!

And back to the beach,
where it is a little less head injury prone.
Abby & Ava built lots of sand castles,
she taught her this new wet sand sculptures too.

Here are the sand sculptures:

Auntie D'Auna reading to Ava

Back to the sand!
I am telling you it went something like:
beach, bath, beach, bath, beach, bath...repeat

Trying to jump and reach the giant kite:

But seriously with weather this nice
who wants to stay inside?

We got to hang out with 2 aunts, my uncle, cousin, both brothers, sister in law, mom, step dad, 3 best friends & 2 other new friends. We played lots of games and added a new one to our repertoire of addiction, Settlers of Catan.

We LOVE the beach!

Oh and on the drive home as we headed inland
the weather turned cloudy and rainy!

We seriously almost turned around and went back!

But I missed my husband...
