Our Favorite Things

Kensington's favorite thing about the beach is the sand.

Me: Charlie What's your favorite thing about the beach?

Charlie: I like to drink!

Yesterday, Hank's favorite thing was throwing any kind of ball he could get his hands on while standing in the surf. Hank's favorite thing changes every day

A few more beach pictures

The beach trip continues . . .

Pappy, Brittany, Rich, Ashley, and Kensington arrived at the beach house really late Friday night. But that didn't stop an early morning reunion of the little cousins. They were all three in the same room. When they woke up, they were all yelling the other one's name. It was so cute. They didn't rest until everyone was out of bed. We were on the beach with our tent, cooler, chairs, floats, toys, and more by 9:30.

Let's bury Pappy's feet. By the time they were finished, Pappy's head was the only part of him left above sand. I won't say his head was sand free because these three sling sand EVERYWHERE! They did have a little help from Auntie Brittany.

Charlie and Kensington really want to find crabs. I guess I'm going to have to google crabbing or just go buy a couple.

We finally came back in around 3:30. After a good hose down outside and a good shower inside, Charlie and Kensington still had to have their hair washed in the kitchen sink to get all of the sand out.

We enjoyed a fun dinner out at a restaurant called Creek Ratz. We enjoyed eating outside and listening to the live music. Hank really enjoyed the nacho appetizer plate.

Watch out, Here we come!

We 've had such a fun beach trip so far. Our cousins, Barbara, April, Colby, Jaycee, and Kaleigh, came to stay with us a few days. The kids had so much fun together in the water and sand.

This beach trip has been such a pleasant trip on the beach compared to last year. Last year, Charlie was not able to enjoy the water. He would cry and say, "the water is movin'" Hank couldn't walk yet and crawled up and down the beach. It was very frustrating. But this year they both love it!

Hank has enjoyed several naps on the beach.

Pappy and Marshall are so jealous.

It started out as Charlie's sunflower factory, but

the girls got involved, and it became a house.

Charlie wasn't thrilled, but he accepted it especially

when the girls added a slide and stairs.

On June 24, we celebrated our 10th anniversary. We enjoyed a dinner out at a great restaurant called Frank's. I can't imagine not being with Marshall Frost. It doesn't feel like it has been ten years at all. I'm a lucky girl!

It's a bird, it's a plane, . . .

It's Charlie with a kite on the beach!

Hank Turns 2

Let the PARTY begin!

The party began Friday night when Laurel Brayden, Foxy, and Belle Belle came. They brought Hank his very own baseball helmet. Hank LOVES it!

Saturday afternoon, we enjoyed a pool party with lots of family and friends. It was so incredibly hot that the only place to be was the pool.
