Sand, sun and surf

Thanks to Pete, my kids love the beach. While we were staying with my parents, we were beach bums. Alex is a fan of the surf, Ruby can't get enough of the sand, and Henry is just happy soaking up the sun. Over the two week period I took way too many pictures. Here are some of my favorites.

Henry's hair was curlier than ever in California

"Hey, who took my shovel?"

Waiting for the perfect wave

Uh-oh

"I told you that wave was too big Dad! Now I have salt water up my nose."

We also had fun with our friends at the beach

This summer we finally met baby Lilly for the first time. My horrible photography couldn't capture what a happy baby she is. Ruby was in love with her and probably gave her Aunt Allison and Uncle Greg a few scares with her loving "care".

The Maughan family also came down to hang out. Staten went boogie boarding with Alex and Windsor joined Ruby in making tasty sea weed wraps. Yum!
