Beach 2014

Nine glorious days at the beach....our annual tradition!
We all look forward to the time all year!

 

 

Grandma always leaves surprises for the children! 

 

We could not wait to get out to the beach!  It had been almost 11 months!!

 

We got to celebrate Father's Day in one of daddy's favorite locations.

He is such a Godly leader of our family.  The children admire him greatly and he gives them his undivided attention  makes it a point to spend one on one time with them often.

I see brother modeling this selfless behavior more and more!

 

We added a new member to our family.

We "adopted"  a boy through World Mission.

A wonderful way to share all the Lord has given to us!

 

This picture show brothers feelings towards the ocean. He was perfectly content sitting on shore watching.  It wasn't until the last day that he actual got in and enjoyed the waves.

 

We got to spend time with our the grandparents,

 

shopping,

 

digging,

 



 

burying,

 

and enjoying God's great creation!

 

Almost 24 years ago we had our first kiss on a similar pier not too far from this one!

 Sand angels were a first for me!

 



 

We were able to visit Fort Macon. 

 Taking a  night walk is always a must! 

 

 

One evening, the boys headed to a baseball game while grandma treated the girls to their first real pedicure!  They loved every minute!

While at the aquarium the divers entertained us!

 

It was nice to be away for the normal and spend quality family time in our favorite place.
