Beach buddies

We started off the summer with a great trip. I think this has been our best beach trip yet...we will try again though just to make sure :) It was just the right mix of fun and relaxation, the kids were a little bigger, we REALLY needed a vacation. Since we had already become Oklahomians by this point, Will was super stoked to hang with his best buddy. The babies had a great time too.

This year our house was between the ocean and a little lake about 40 yards behind the dunes. Somehow a little stream system formed between the two which made for a very shallow pond next to the beach for the babies to hang in a lot. It also worked great for boogie board pod races and the beginning of the skim boarding. These races wrewe a clever idea and a big hit for ALL the boys.

I think by next year we will have to break down and get William surfing lessons. He really loves the water.

The beach is the perfet place to make new friends. Who wouldnt want to work together to get a monster crab?

Andrew was happy doing whatever the game of the day was. He thought he was much older than 2 and luckily for him got attention from the big boys since he was brave enough to try almost anything.
