the beach

here a few pictures from the beach. we had a really great time...someone told me today that i looked rested and i laughed at them...i may have had a great vacation, but nobody got to rest!

we had this great idea that we were going to try to take family pictures down at the beach...it was not the best idea that we ever had, but i guess it was worth a try. the pictures turned out terrible...the sun was too bright (hence the squinty eyes), mm was mad that i made her wear a dress, grady kept running to the water to wash his hands, etc, etc. anyway, this is the best of the worst!


here is mm in her "shake her booty" bathing suit building sand castles


grady's mommy should really get him a haircut!


after we had tried and tried to get a couple pictures we finally let the kids play. i love this picture. this was the starting line for the race...or is it a commercial for sprint...more bars in more places...for some odd reason, i think that will is going to smoke them...

and while we were down there a nice funeral home let us borrow some tents. it was super cheep...we only had to dig 4 graves. let me give a shout out to turner, waters, waters, westmoreland helping families during their time of high sun to prevent sunburns and heat stroke. i joke about these gigantic tents and how silly we all look under them, but they are the only way that we can survive the beach!


hopefully i will have more to come in another post. stay tuned!

I laughed my head off at the funeral tents! Seriously, others might laugh, but it's 10 degrees cooler under those things! They're perfect for a bunch of ghostly white Irish folks! ;)

I sent you a link with some better family pics. More are coming...

Oh what a fun week you all had. Will is taking after his father with his running skills.
