Footprints in the sand

Morgan played with Will one day and helped him make footprints in the sand for me to take pictures of and he had so much fun doing this, as you can see:

Jumping in the Waves

Will had a blast playing in the waves this year and it was so much fun watching his excitement:

Time on the beach

Our family loves playing on the beach - we just can never get enough of it. We love playing in the sand and in the ocean! Emma and Will loved running around with each other this year - it was so much fun for them!

It's boogie board time!!!

An every day occurrence at the beach is boogie boarding and a lot of that was done by the guys especially:

Card Games at the Beach

A nightly event at the beach is card playing or board games and here are some pictures I took one night:

Walks to the Inlet

We take walks down to the inlet every year. Some of the family goes every day but Rick, Will and I only went twice this year. One of the nights we were able to take some cute pictures of Emma and Will playing and of everyone else and I got some amazing sunset shots! Another night the boys went fishing and I'll have to post some of those pictures later when I get them from Elizabeth. We saw tons of sting rays and hermit crabs while down at the inlet the evening they went fishing - it was pretty cool! It's so calm and peaceful down at the inlet - I guess that's why we all enjoy our walks there! It's just amazing to sit around there and look at what all God has created - I guess that's why the beach and the mountains are two of my favorite places! I've put up a couple of slide shows of the walks and the sunset shots:
