At the end of July, we went to the beach again. This time it was with my family. We couldn’t all make it this time…because of work and other obligations. However, those of us that went, had a good time. It is ALWAYS interesting when you get a group as big as ours together. We had two different condos again this year. Seth and Vanna and their two boys were in the same condo as us. In the other condo was my parents, karen, and the girls. Because Vanna was helping with a baby shower, they didn’t come until a few days after us. We left Ruston on a Friday and returned the next Thursday. I was so thankful that we were able to go because Matt has a huge deadline for audits on July 31st. He just worked extra hard before and after…and even some while we were there!
Each day we would wake up at the time of “WAY TOO EARLY”, eat breakfast, ***get everyone dressed***, go down to the pool or beach or both, come back up to shower and get cleaned up, feed everyone lunch, put kids down for nap, wake up, get everyone dressed, go out to eat with everyone, and come home to put on pjs and go to bed.
The beach SURE isn’t what it used to be!!! It used to be the most relaxing place but now it is a place filled with LOTS OF WORK! Don’t get me wrong…I still love to go even though it is exhausting!!!
Trigger and Campbell before going out to eat the first night!
AND, the typical second picture of c screaming because Trigger is touching him. 
Matt was being a dork. I just wanted a picture of Larkin but he had to make this face!
Me and my boys!
…and girl!
One night we went to The Original Oyster House. It was a forever long wait…and was very hot…and all kids (and some adults) were cranky….which actually was every night when we went out to eat….lets just say that going out to eat is also NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE!
LOVE those eyes!
And because we are not so smart, after waiting forever and having hellacious behavior at supper, we took all of the kids to build a bear afterwards…wasn’t that smart, HA!!!!
The boys really LOVE the pool…I keep telling my parent that they need to redo their pool and put in one of these zero entry pools…LOVE them because the kids can play so easily in the shallow and I can sit right there with them. However, my parents aren’t really going for that! 
Abby and Sydney LOVE playing with Larkin.
Trigger was so excited to “dive” (or reach down since it was very shallow) for the rings.
Well, I’m sorry to disappoint you but that is just the first of THREE posts with beach pictures…Im sure you are all going to be refreshing every few minutes just waiting for the other two since these are such thrilling posts! HA!!!
