Beach Trip 2011

I love the beach, so you can imagine my delight to find we have a serious beach baby on our hands

She quickly learned that sand isn't very tasty.

Jilly loved playing in her little pool 

Happy Fourth of July

  

We loved taking beach walks with the stroller

 My sister said I look like such a mom in this picture, to which I replied, "well, I am.

Bryan and Jenn had fun surfing 

We also had some fun rides out in the kayak

 Jealous of those legs?

Matchy Black Day- Jenn and I actually have the same swimsuit

Lots of yummy beach naps

Ill-fated football game during which Leslie and I collided.  I got a terrible headache from her head crashing into my jaw, and she jammed/broke her toe.  Don't ask me how we injured opposite ends of our bodies.

Lots of fun in the ocean

We've been taking a 'hold hands while running to the ocean' picture for as long as I can remember

Jilly checking out the ocean with Grandpa

Every year we build some sort of creature in the sand.  This year it was the one and only Jimmer

All of our family except for sleeping Jilly and Katie and Neal, who decided they would rather go on their honeymoon to Costa Rica than come to the beach with the whole fam (lame.)

All 32 of us out on the porch of our beach house.

Tyler gives this vacation two thumbs up
