The Beach.

Besides seeing our RC family, the main reason for going on this 14 hour drive is
THE BEACH.
Saturday we had a little time for just our family to go down. 

Here are some of the pics from the rest of the time.
John got Katie Anne to ride on the boogie board but I missed it...pictures of her next year!

For fun times please combine water and sand.
And a shovel.

I love hanging with my gal pals...
(some days were colder than others)
Becky, Me, Shar, Ronelle

Erin, Ronelle, Me, Carma

(stole this pic from Jack C.  Thanks!)

And watching my kids play with their friends...

 
 

Jack got buried by a couple of girls.

And Jeffrey buried himself.

Oh and did I mention the octopus?  Thanks to the Andrus family for getting up early enough to find this creature on the beach!  Don't worry, he (she? how would I know?) lived in the ocean again after we had our fill of watching him.
