Beach Baby

We just got back from a wonderful family vacation at Bethany Beach. It was relaxing, it was busy, it was exciting and exhausting all wrapped into one! The kids really got into the beach this year and surprising to us Trey was the first one to get his feet wet and begging for a boogie board. He took wave after wave!
Of course Breanne, having the competitive spirit that she does, had to give it a whirl too. She did great as well
I love this photo because from where I sat this was the view I saw most afternoons! Bre gave orders while Trey dove in "head first" to get the job done!
They also had "wave" races to see if they could outrun the break!
My favorite part of the trip was evening at the abandoned beach with the cool sand between my toes watching the kids play. Trey loved his kite and I honestly thought the kite would lift him off the ground a few time! He so serious about the angle of his flight and keeping an astonishing height! Well done!
They also did a good job of spelling their names in the sand. (even if Bre insists on putting about 8 lines in her letter "E")

But we're home now and we say goodbye to summer as school is just days away. Till next year!
