Ah the sounds of ocean waves and the feel of sand between my toes! Its been two years since the last time the girls and I were at the beach and countless years since we were able to drag the Woodsman along! With a little bit of persuading, we finally managed to talk him into a trip to the beach!
This year Granny T and Jim invited us to join them for a few days in PCB to enjoy some fun in the sun. It didn't take much to convince me! I like the mountains more than the beach, but I won't say no to a quick trip to put my feet in the water. We all had a great time and the best part is......I got family pictures out of the deal! Sweet! Big thanks to Papa Jim for snapping the pics and to Granny T for making them all smile!
My favorite! So simple and sweet.
Having a blast jumping over waves. |

Our little family.
Ah look he holds my hand!
And smiles!
Can't believe we left our sunglasses on for most of the pics. Jim had the great idea to tell us to take them off for a few. So glad we didn't wear the sunglasses for them all!
My beautiful girls:
Sweet sisters!
Miss Priss - 10 and 1/2
Little Bit - almost 7
Granny T got this smile out of the Woodsman and didn't even know she was the cause of it. Apparently she was in the background while Jim was trying to take the picture. He started off yelling "Betty". She didn't hear him so he got louder.... "Betty". She still didn't hear so he yelled "BETTY JEAN move!" as loud as he could. She perked up with that 'what??' look on her face and the Woodsman thought it was hilarious. Guess you had to be there. I think he laughed so hard because the situation reminded him of having to deal with me! Oh well!
Granny T, Papa Jim and their girls. (Great granddaughters)
Your turn! Ah the sweet couple.
Now for some real shots of just playing on the beach:
Our little piece of the sand.
Granny T and the Woodsman lathering up with sunscreen.
It was nice to be so close to the water.
I promise I put sunscreen on the child the day before! She still managed to get way too much sun!
Just a diggin'.
Miss Priss letting the crabs we caught the night before go back to the ocean.
I am amazed at how much fun all children seem to have just digging in the sand!
They convinced Daddy to join them in the water.
And this is what happened! Hehehe!
Yep, my lily-white, bearded man at the beach!
Storm is coming in and the girls are bringing all their goodies back to the room.
Thanks again for a great trip. We enjoyed the sun, sand and visit!
