Atlantic Beach 2013

 

Just when I think it can't get better...it does.

Each year we go for a long week at the beach in early June to kick off summer.

Each year we have amazing weather.  This year a tropical storm was coming as we packed.

However, we had awesome weather all week!!

 

 

The children share our passion for the beach!

They could not wait to get out there!!

Our week was great.  We played on the beach a ton, swam in the pool, played inside

and visited the aquarium. 

 



This was momma's amazing view...from under the umbrella!

 





We played games,

 



 

 

 

read,

 

and even slept a little.

Wondering if this was our last year with a child in our room?!?!

 

One day it was a bit windy so we went to the aquarium.

 



The otters are always a favorite attraction. 

We were able to attend the program on sea turtles and get a closer look.





 

On the way to the condo we stopped for a little exercise.

 

 

 

 Evening walks are the beach are hard to beat!

 

 

 

This handsome guy was happy to turn 7 1/2 while we were at the beach.  I can remember his very first trip to this very beach.  He has always enjoyed it!

 

 

Lil sis was able to show her grandparents her swimming ability!

It was so calm one day we let the children out without vests!

 



 Brother and daddy took in a couple of Marlin games...an ECU player was on the other team!

 Watching these three think, grow, learn and play together is such a joy!
