Vacation, Part 2



Beach 2010
After 987 miles and about 19 hours of travel, we made it to the beach. Relatives drove in from all over: Texas, Florida, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and New York.

After cleaning up for one group photo, we proceeded to spend the majority of our week thoroughly enjoying the Right-Outside-Our-Door oceanfront.

I think Grandma spent most of the week holding at least one grandchild's hand!

Gabriel's interesting approach to trying to catch fish in the tide pools: hit them really hard.

If Claire looks grumpy, it's because she was. Teething is no fun, even on the beach.

We did our best to keep her well-supplied with things to chew on.

And we felt very grateful for aunts who will hold sweaty babies so that they'll sleep better!

Aubrey preferred the sand to the waves, though by the end of the week even she had "warmed up" to the ocean (temperature highs in the upper 90s forces most everyone to make friends with the water, I think!).

Bronwyn learned to play frisbee.


Stay tuned for more pictures from our week at the beach!
