A day at the beach...

Recently, Jake decided to ride his bike to the beach. I on the other hand, packed up the kids in the car, drove through traffic, unloaded the munckins, and made our way to the shore. Just as we crossed the bridge by the water, Jake came around the corner. That should give people a good idea of long it takes to tote four kids around, haha!



We love taking bike rides as a family, but Jake is always stuck pulling the two little ones in the bike carrier. So this was a good chance for him to take out his REAL bike and enjoy a nice ride!

As soon as we got there, this bird got the catch of the day, a beautiful star fish!


We found some more for the kids to play with...


Of course, Robbie prefers throwing the sand!


He was losing his pants to the sand the entire time... but I love his serious face right here.


Nate took his pants off as soon as we got there... this kid lives in his underwear!




This picture was totally blown out as I shot straight in the sun, but I think it has a magical look to it...


Robbie eventually shed most of his clothes...


Karah... what can I say.... I love this girl!


I am thinking of printing this next one up for the house...



Oh to be a kid again...




Rob was having major saggy diaper issues... but hey... he was happy!




I was glad I brought my old Rebel XT along. The colors coming from the sun this day were so warm and beautiful.


The sun was setting, the diaper falling...time to head home!


The End!
