Visitors from the Desert!

Last Friday, Jon’s nephew Jeffrey, his wife Leanne, and their SIX (!!!) kids came out our way to go to the beach with us.  Jon’s niece Christine, her daughter, Jon’s sister, and Leanne’s brother, sister-in-law and their daughter all came too! So we were quite a large group :)

I bought a hero, a bunch of snacks/drinks, we packaged all of our beach toys/boogey boards/surfboards/towels into the cars, and we headed to Tiana. Needless to say, given the size of the group, we weren’t able to get a picture of all of the kids in one place, but at least I got a few shots (in between removing shells, rocks, muscles, sand, etc. from Henry’s mouth)! :) 

Here is a picture of some of the girls as they descended onto the beach and immediately made a run for the water! Oh, and I should mention that 8 of the 10 children there were girls…and the boys, Henry and Cole, are babies, so it was mostly a gang of girls! :)

Charlotte actually (gasp) eating her lunch! I think she was excited by the novelty of a 3 foot hero

Being that Jeffrey and his family live in Arizona, we don’t get to see them very often, so it was wonderful to see everyone.  And I think all of the kids had fun at the beach, so all in all, it was a great day :)
