Our last day at St. Augustine, FL

Mommy, Gabby & Lily watching the boys and Hannah surf the waves.  Our beach house is in the background.  

 We had a wonderful time on our last day at the beach.  Today seemed to be a day spent surfing the waves.  I didn't get many pictures of Lily today...she seemed content to sit in a chair and dangle her feet in the water with me.  It was nice having her companionship.  The older children spent the entire time in the ocean, loving every minute.  In fact, they looked like they were having so much fun, Daddy couldn't resist joining them for most of the time!   :)   See you again next year, beach!!!!

Happy 8th birthday, Connor!

Today, June 2nd, is Connor's 8th birthday!  We hit the beach in the morning.  We found some wooden boards meant for skimming along the water.  The boys were brave enough to try.  Cameron was especially determined.  He fell the most, but kept on trying for awhile.  The girls thought it would be fun to try some beach yoga and are seen here doing "tree pose".  Hannah found a live crab and wanted to keep it for a pet.  We convinced her that the crab needed its home in the ocean.  Connor had an awesome-looking beach birthday cake that was completely delicious.  We went out for dinner at a seafood restaurant and when we returned, Connor, Hannah, and Lily went mini golfing with daddy while Cameron and Gabby chose to hang out with mommy so Cameron could go in the pool.  Connor won at mini golf.  It was a fun day for everyone, and a happy 8th birthday for our Connor.  Happy Birthday, big guy!  I'm so proud to be your mom   :)

Happy June 1st, from the beach!

This is how our family welcomed in the month of June. Not too shabby, huh? The day began overcast, but we never got rained on. The children wanted to spend the day digging and building sand castles. It was another day of beach fun. What's happening tomorrow? Connor's 8th birthday!!!!!
