A few parts of our trip to Miramar Beach.

A family Reunion.

 We started by meeting Grandma Vicki to get cousin Kaleb to take with us for the trip.

It was so good to spend time with him.

 Hanging out at the beach was fun.  It is getting harder getting Quinn out on the beach with that sinking sand, but thanks to our cousin Chase, he would hall her out to the water and back to the house, while the rest of us toted chairs and sunscreen and such.  So thankful for family!  I want to continue to get Quinn out to do what the rest of us are doing, especially if she wants to, so I will keep working hard to make that happen.

 Isaiah loved getting out on the wake boards, and caught some great waves.

 Grandpa was out there with the kids most of the time.

 Us girls up on the board walk.

 A chartered boat trip was fun for fishing.  Denali was right out there with all the boys.

Most of the cousins went out.

Isaiah was more a look out then a fisherman.

 Then back to the beach.  The traffic was constant and so busy, but the beach at the house Aunt Pam rented was usually calm, and that was so nice.

 Our view off the balcony was wonderful!

 The kids loved digging in the sand.

 Spending time with Great Grandma Mema is always wonderful!

 More to share, lots of pictures to go though.  Lots of wonderful memories made.

I love this picture!

We just got back from the beach.

it was a long 20 hour drive.

 It was fun to see the landscape change along the way.

 We took our cousin along.

 Did I mention it was a long ride.

Totally worth the drive to have a condo on the water.

So much more to say, but we have a lot of unpacking to do!

We love summer.

Quinn practiced her driving.

Got in trouble for being naughty,

then drove well again.

 Spent time with friends.

 Went off roading, a little more then we planned, but it was an adventure.

 spent time with grandma and cousins.

with more adventures to come. 

So thankful for what we have and who we have in our lives.

We picked Isaiah up from camp.

Then took Denali to her camp for this week.

We are trying hard to give all the kids fun experiences.

We surprised Chrissy with a Birthday party.

So fun!

 We got a few new pictures of the dance.  

I think I might have shared this top one, but the next one is sure fun too!

I can tell the summer is starting to wind down, 

as I am feeling ready to get back into the art room 

and looking forward to teaching my kids at school.

I am good with a few more weeks, as we have some fun things coming up!
