day 5

the dads went golfing today.
it was cloudy and chilly this morning...so we hung out at the house and that was maybe a bad idea...

there just was a lot of complaining and arguing from the kids (at least from mine) and we were all going a bit crazy.

we did redeem parts of it...bailey read a book to us :-)

rebekah did a Bible study for the kids (that ended with her in tears because "they don't CARE!"
hopefully it was a good lesson for EVERYONE!

we ate lunch EARLY and then hit the beach!
ali took this picture from the deck of our house as we were getting set up!
(we have LOVED having a house right on the beach. it makes getting to and from the beach SO much easier...we are getting spoiled for SURE!)

a rare laugh from this one...

my favorite.
sitting in my chair staring at this with my book in my lap :-)

this girl is SO happy!

family pictures!

i love these!

i couldn't pick my favorite...

group picture!

and, then, tonight i tried to get a "nice" family picture.
none of them turned out.

i like the earlier beach ones where we are all sandy and messy from all day at the beach better than this...
oh well!
hoping it's our last beach picture as a family of 6!!!
