This is How We Do It

We go to the beach all the time.  Sometimes with friends, sometimes just our family, and sometimes we go with just our family and run into friends there.  It's great.  We are a well-oiled machine when it comes to getting ready for a quick, spur of the moment, beach trip.  Marcus packs our beach chairs, Randy packs the boogie boards and towels, Landon packs his buckets and shovels, I pack Parker and the food.  We load up in the van, drive for fifteen minutes, and we're there.  I even remembered to bring the camera on our last trip.  Unfortunately Marcus didn't get a picture of Randy and I catching a wave on our boogie boards while holding hands.  We're so romantic!

Me catching a wave and about to run over Bean

Me running over my own child.  Luckily he lived.

After surviving being run over by his own mother, Bean came in for a warm towel

Randy gets cold super easy.  Good thing he has a wet suit.  Check out the huge ship back there!

Parker played in the sand instead of eating it!  Hallelujah!
