Memorial Day

 

Yes, I'm still playing catch up!  On Memorial Day, we went to the beach with family and friends. 

 I'm so grateful this little one is cute because she was such a bear on the drive! 

 

She is a crib snob and won't sleep anywhere other than her crib at home.  She will doze off for a few minutes in her car seat, but no real nap for this little princess.   Luckily, she was thrilled by the sand between her toes and the icy water as it raced around her little legs!

 She was all smiles sitting on the shore and eating lunch with Daddy!  I'm sure it helped that we gave it and let her eat Oreos and Cheetos like the big kids!  Ya, not the best parenting happening that day, but when you spend three hours in the car with a fussy baby, it sort of changes your priorities.

Ashlyn was a good big sister and showed Paige how to dig in the sand.

These two beauties, Lauren and Amber, spend most of their day playing with the sand crabs!

 

 

And of course it wouldn't be a day at the beach if Jessica didn't let someone bury her in the sand!  Good thing she is brave enough to endure the cold water!

 

 The guys set up the volleyball net and everyone had a good time playing together.

I love this crazy girl!

 I'm not exactly sure how or why Nick has a bat in his hand on the volleyball "court"...

My dad enjoyed the game from the sidelines. 

 Austin played a little catch with the football,

 Ashlyn and Gannon played in the waves,

And a few of us even snuck in a little nap

 

Any day with the crew is a good day.
