I think the beach house looks better when it's full of people.
The entire upper level of the house was a master suite that my parents claimed.
It looked right out onto the ocean.
The whole house was really nice. This was the only picture I got of the kitchens (it had two).
Unfortunately it was right after the breakfast rush....
This is one of my favorite pictures of Hazel and Tyler.
They are such good friends.
I talked Evan into letting me bury him.
He didn't love it.
Six.

Seriously.... Jaxen and Erick spent the entire vacation like this.
They didn't even need buckets and shovels.
Rocks and sticks were enough to satisfy them.
Such concentration.
Me and my bebe
I love this girl.
While we were there, we celebrated David's 22nd birthday!
My kids slept like champs every night.
There was a camping hobo just up the beach which kept things interesting.
We named him Fernando.
My parents being old.
Delilah (who aquired the nickname Delilarhea on this vacation due to an unfortunate incident on the way there...David drove with them and is scarred for life) preferred to chill on the deck.
At some point we realized that Jaxen and my Dad had very similar hats and sunglasses.
My Mommy
On the days we spent on the beach, the kids would only come inside to use the bathroom.
Or at least, I hope they came inside to use the bathroom.

Madee and Delilah eventually decided the water was fun.
My cute kids
Madee's thighs are what dreams are made of.
Jess... this was the only time she came out in her swimsuit so I had to document the event.
In hindsight, push pops and sand are a bad combination.
My Dad swam out into the ocean with Kati and I.
Cause he's cool like that.
And he doesn't know that he's 54 years old.
We found out that Jaxen is allergic certain types of sunblock.
His eyes got puffy and watery, and he broke out in an awesome rash.
After a day on the beach and a small dose of Benadryl, that kid slept like a log.
Kati and I
and our talons
The three "little" kids
My parents are in love.
On the morning we leave, we all go out and tell the beach goodbye.
It's tradition.
It was really hard to say goodbye....
Two rather awkward pictures of two of my favorite people.
My parents had some car problems. They ended up leaving their struggling van in Las Vegas and renting this mini van. Because of the Kansas license plate, my Dad starting telling strangers we were from Wichita, Kansas, and for some reason this was very hilarious to us all... but especially to him.
We stopped in St. George on our way home.
We went out to dinner and spent several hours in the pool.
It was the perfect way to end a really great vacation.

I really love so much about this. I want to stay in that amazing beach house and frolic with my husband and baby in the sand and water. That looks SO fun. I really hope Delilah's new nickname doesn't stick. Her teenaged self may not love it. I am glad that some brilliant ocd child arranged the sand pails by size. And I am bummed that Jax is allergic to certain types of sunscreen. Not so great in combination with his super fair complexion. Also, I wish I lived by you because I feel I don't see you or your family nearly enough.
When you were little and at the beach did you ever come in to use the bathroom? Be honest now.
THIGHS!!! I just want to squeeze them!
PS- Paige can only have one or two kinds of sunscreen too... same thing!
