Family beach trip

Since my sister has been harping on me to finally update my blog, here I am. We do a huge family beach trip with my parents, sister, and 4 other extended families every summer. This year is, I think, is the 32nd year. It is so wonderful to see my girls enjoying the same experience that I have had for so many years. They absolutely love their "beach friends," and are already counting down the says until we return next summer. Here are a few pictures of our crew. Notice the birthday hat on Ella....my birthday happened to fall during the middle of our trip...the girls insisted on wearing their celebration hats down to the beach.
