Sept trip to the beach

Posted in Family

This is a belated post - but better late than never.  We had two big trips in September and I want to post pics from both of them. 

The first was a week at the beach.  We met our friends from VA there for the week.  They are in a unit just a short ways down the beach from us.  This is the third year we've met there and it has become a fun tradition.  I'm not going to write much, but wanted to share some photos.

Eliana LOVES the beach!  She loves the sand and also the water.  We had trouble with her eating the sand this year.  I couldn't figure out why she kept eating after taking the first fistful.  Yuck! 

Daniel loves to find shells.  He spends a lot of time looking and is really quite good at spotting them too.  He loves his shell collecting bag that he got from the Kenkels too!

Christopher giving Aaron a ride. 

I'm not sure why anyone would want to be buried up to their head in sand - but apparently it is fun for at least two of my boys. 

I just love seeing my boys hanging out and having fun together.

Boogie boarding is a big hit with my older kids.

Hannah and Rebecca enjoy having a week to hang out as they miss being able to just run next door.

Another one of Christpher and Aaron.  Christopher is really great with younger kids and it's sweet to see him playing with Aaron.

Of course, we have fun building sand castles - and not too many pictures though.

Just having fun looking for shells and stopping for a picture so I can remember the moment.  We were down by the "river" (an inlet from the ocean) where there are always lots of good finds.  It was a sweet time.

We had a wonderful week and were thankful to share it with our friends.  We look forward to doing it again next year.

Blessings
Leslie

We are off to the beach on Saturday. It will be the first time my (little) kids have seen the ocean. They are very excited. Your pictures are great. I can't wait to hear the sound of the waves crashing on the shore.
Blessings,
Dawn

What great pictures! The beach is so much fun. I have a sand eater also. I think it is a sensory thing but I wholeheartedly agree with your "Yuck!".

I enjoyed seeing you all today. :)

These pictures are great. It's fun to get to see Catherine's children and how they've grown. I know you miss having them close by.

Christopher *is* really good with young children. I got a great picture of him playing with Artie today. Christopher displays a lot of patience with little ones. That's a gift.

Philippians 4:6

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer

and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

v7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will

guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

v8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable,whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.
