Beach Friends

We had a ton of fun at the beach, obviously...

And we were even able to spend some time with friends and family.  How many kids can you fit into one hide-a-bed?  A LOT...

Sorry for the blurriness of the photo, but my phone was in a waterproof bag...

iPhones...bringing us all together...

We even got to spend time with some friends from Arkansas!  We had tons of fun jelly fishing together...

These cuties are just too adorable...

The boys were so happy to have other guys to play with...

While the girls just wanted to lounge on the beach and catch some rays...

These three have literally been friends since the very beginning!

We sneaked in a little Pirate and Princess Breakfast at the HangOut...

Watts and Corinne were the sweetest sibling crab catchers ever...

Time for some go karts!

Watts was a great co-pilot...

So was Corinne...

I love these pictures of Molly cutting loose and having fun...

We were so blessed to spend time with our family and friends at the beach.  Being surrounded by those you love makes a good vacation a GREAT one!

Back to the beach!

After enjoying several camps, swim meets, and a super-fun birthday party, we were ready to hit the beach...

One of Cille's favorite birthday gifts was this lounge chair and shades combo...

Corinne had her beach body ready...

Cheese it up, girl!

Stella decided she does not like sand anymore during this trip to the beach...

Waving hello to the mamarazzi...

Such sweet babies!

Better get back to the shade...

You might notice in these next photos that the kids have a ton of sunscreen on.  They call it "marshmallow face."  I am that mom...

This next section is where I fall into the trap of only taking photos of the baby...

In my defense, she was one of the only ones willing to stay in the shade with me!

Another of Cille's favorite birthday gifts was this huge float.  The kids had a blast on it for much, much longer than I thought it would last before it finally met its demise...

One final photo of 7 going on 17...
