The beach, 2011!

Eden is not afraid of the waves, not even a tiny bit.

She loved being in the water and asked us continuously through out the week to take her out into the waves.

We have a little surfer chick in the making.

Not all of the grandkids were there this summer, but we still managed to have a good time. Abby's friend Makayla joined us this year.

Bella came with us this year and enjoyed the beach probably more than we did. She was exhausted at the end of each day. She could barely keep her eyes open.

The wind and waves kicked up halfway through the week, so we had to make do and just play on the beach.

The older kids had fun catching fish.

The fish were put into the water table so they could watch them swim.

Eden picked up Trent's fish, much to his dismay.

The adults enjoyed catching up under the shady tent.

Eden learned to make sand castles this year.

This is what I call, beach happy.
