Family beach trip!

We had such a wonderful time at the beach house! This was the first time I have ever stayed at a beach house. It was so incredible being able to wake up and enjoy the beach before anyone else. The view, the convenience of going back and forth from the beach to the house, walking and riding along the boardwalk with and without kids, eating meals on the beach, bathing the kids and washing away the sand, and washing the sandy swimsuits and towels in the washer and dryer so that we could do it all over again the next day. Oh! I miss the beach house!

The beach house - it's really a condo - from the beach. We stayed in the 2nd and 3rd floor and we had balconies for every room! Yup, that's my mom and Josiah!

This was funny because Ali made a funny face to remind us all to smile. I guess we always do something funny to make them smile!
