Beachin' [Round Two]

A few weeks ago we took our second beach trip of the Summer. This time it was with Ryan's family. We had a wonderful week filled with great times, good food, lots of laughter, and tons of picture taking.

My two cuties having some brother-sister time at one of our rest stops.

Rachael could not wait to get her hands on "Baby Gant" every times she saw him.

David would hold him sometimes too.

Most of the time, when we were inside, he enjoyed building towers with Parker.

At the beach, we tried to take some big cousins pictures. But, Parker wasn't too interested in that.

Chief had a wonderful time [especially compared to his last time at the beach]. He loved to play with Truman and Cash. He would hide in the surf and wait for them to come out of the water.

And then...ATTACK them, playfully, of course.

One happy dog.

He also loved chasing the birds.

Lots of birthdays were celebrated!

Meanwhile, back at the beach....

Chief smelled this crab under the sand and dug and dug until he found him.

I. Love. Them.

David showing off his muscles.

Oh to take such peaceful beach naps.

We went for a very short boat ride one day.

Chief loved the pet-friendly restaurant and was a very good boy.

Back at the beach, more playing...

A few fish were caught.

Rachael wrote an "R" on the beach all by herself.

The perfectly posed family photo....


How life really looks for us these days-

We had a wonderful time at the beach with Ryan's side of the family!
