Oldest and youngest Andros men!
We kept the door open quite a bit to let the fresh open breeze in. Livy liked to escape to the porch and play with the shoes and scrounge up any sand available.
Later in the week, the sun finally came out, the wind stopped and we had a few gorgeous days.
It made for playing in the water much more pleasant.
Most of the grandkids!
My twiners!
Livy didn't get to put her feet in the ocean for the first time until half way through the week. (Yes, that is my BURNED RED scalp. Don't worry- it is naturally red all the time and gets more red during the summer, even if I don't spend much time in the sun. And yes, don't worry, every single person in the universe notices it and comments on it. If I had a dollar...)
She would have went and swam in the water had I let her.
Eating sand= pure happiness!
We had 5 new people at the beach this year- 2 new babies and Nick's new bride Chelsea and her adorable little girls Avery and Halle. We all love them so much and they are a perfect addition to our family! No better way to get to know a new family than to go on vacation with all of them just 3 weeks after your wedding.
Chelsea's birthday was Thursday night of the beach. She is gorgeous and doesn't look a day over 25, really. We had a fun evening celebrating her.
Uncle Nick brought up his two paddles boards to the beach this year. He just graduated from orthodontic school in Florida just a week before our trip, so his paddle boards made a great addition this year. The kids loved it. It was hard for them all to share just two boards!
Mitch was not brave enough to stand up.
Chloe was!
Go Lexi!
Livy knew just where to go to get the best snacks- Aunt Meredith!
KC, at it again!
Oh, this baby loved the sand.
She loved to eat it even more!
Our traditional bonfire on the beach. We love that at this house, we can do it right in our own backyard.
Megan's best pose of the week, for sure!
A selfie with my sweetie!
Gorgeous sunset, atop the hill in our backyard.
So beautiful!
The adults set out to try a hamburger food truck one day for lunch. We decided to all cram in one vehicle. How many people can you fit in one 8 passenger mini-van (with one seat missing)? 9 adults and one baby, to be exact.
Chubby's was its name and massive burgers was its game. It was fantastic. Most of us got the one with fries and nacho cheese sauce IN the burger.
We hit the tide pools on the rainiest day. It doesn't really matter if it's rainy and overcast on tide pool day.
Livy was such a happy camper in her backpack.
Three cute 4 year old girls!
The 3 musketeers!
Mitch found the skeleton to some sort of sea creature.
And this is what Ben did with it.
Names in the sand!
Another fabulous year at the beach. Until next time...
