I am aware that posts about my fabulous trip to the beach each year can become long and boring. This year I’m going with six pictures of perfect beach moments with a brief explanation of each.
#1 Sonic Drive-In
We don’t have a Sonic in our town, so an order of chili cheese fries and a strawberry limeade the size of my head are always a HUGE treat. Slushies and tater tots for all the kids and 45 minutes left in the drive, can’t beat it.
#2 Hannie B’s Flourescent Swimsuit
It only took us buying and returning SEVEN swimsuits to find one that was modest AND cute. It was a total bonus that we could spot her anywhere on the beach because she was so bright!
#3 Owlie Beach Firsts
Could any kid love being buried in the sand more than this? I think not. He also finally loved dipping his toes in the waves, digging large holes and shoeing away the sea gulls.
#4 The Perfect Photobomb
A true photobomb happens when the person being photographed has no idea there is a bomber behind him. Well played, Hubby.
#5 Cousin Time
RedDog is never happier than when he’s with his cousins Jonah & Sam. I hardly saw him all weekend long because he was hiding out with them playing games, drawing maps or boogie boarding.
#6 Me + Beach = Happy
I just love the beach. I’m a pale, white girl who can’t really tolerate the sun that well, but I don’t care. This little trip is what gets me through the end of school each year. Life is good!
PS. It really was a PERFECT trip. The two variables that can inevitably cause misery – traffic and weather – were both on our side. No traffic and 80-90 degree weather. Excellent, if I do say so myself! Up tomorrow: CASTLE COMPETITION.

Fantastic pics DF. All good moments for sure. How much has grown from last year to this year? It almost looks like a foot, such a huge change.
Another great trip, best weather ever no question about it.
How much has CHRISTOPHER grown?
The beach posts are never long and boring- I love to live vicariously! Great pics! I especially love your long shadow holding the camera in your self-portrait.
So glad you had the perfect beach trip! The vacation that ranks the highest among my kids is the time we rented a beach house on the Oregon coast with all the cousins. Unlimited access to cousins and beach= perfect vacation!
Your posts about Bethany Beach are never boring!!! WE like them, or at least I do! ;)
Happy to know that you all had such a great time, but of course, who wouldn't?
I am looking forward to vacations too! They will arrive soon.
Looking forward for tomorrow's post! It's always a hit, the Castle Competition!
Smiles say it all. I am so happy you all were able to come together for another swell time at the shore.
Love,
Linda
I have a hard time picking my favorite picture. Maybe I'll just look at them all over again and pretend I'm on the beach with you.
