Beach Trip!

When we found out our awesome friends were about to move away (and put an end to our almost-annual beach trips), we knew we needed to make the drive for one last visit. And, of course, I didn't get a single picture with them. But it was so nice to chat with Scott & Kellie and see their amazing kids. We wish you all the best luck in your new home!
Aaron is not sure about this beach thing.

Clinging to Daddy's leg

Catherine managed to find "caterpillars" in the sand (???)

The water was frigid, but Seth actually went for a dip

My baby sister came to live with us for the summer while she worked at KYA. So, of course, we dragged her to the beach. Beth LOVES it when I take pictures of her. 

Daddy does super fun things at the beach.
Mom just takes pictures.

Lots of pictures.
Bubba loves me.

Seth is more inclined to playing in the water this year, 
but digging in the sand is still his love.

Sometimes princesses need to be carried by their fathers

Catherine and the precious caterpillar.
Leaving it behind was traumatic.

Aaron was quite happy to dig in the sand.
Not so happy to faceplant in it. 

Aaron has a special bond with Aunt Bubba.

After a stop for some delicious burgers, we said our goodbyes (boo!) and started the 2.5 hour drive home. Aaron hadn't napped all day, so we were hopeful there would be some sleeping on the way home. Ha. Ha. 

First, we did whiny: 

Then, hysterical: 
He was on the edge of a knife for the entire drive.
It was a VERY LONG drive.

At least someone got a nap:

You didn't bring the caterpillar home ;D
Love that you have continued the tradition of photographing an uncooperative Bubba!

Love your beach commentary : ) Totally wishing we'd taken a photo together, but I'm glad to have the photos in my mind. Thanks for another great beach trip (and sorry Aaron for making you endure the drive...and everyone else for having to put up with it).
