We are squeezing the last drops out of summer around here!!  We just returned from yet another trip to the beach!! So blessed!! I can’t believe we have been able to go to the beach 3 times this summer. My heart is full!! I haven’t been to the ocean this much in a summer since my college days working at Barefoot RV in Myrtle Beach as a Summershiner! Oh the memories!!  Our first time to the beach this summer the kids didn’t like it (especially Evyn!)…the second time they were warming up to it, but it was so very hot (never going to the Gulf in July again!)…the third time was just right (Amazing!)! Except for our little run in with Tropical Storm Lee the first couple days, the weather worked itself out the rest of the week was PERFECTION. Nice breeze, cool mornings, warm afternoons, clear skies, crystal clear water, powder white sand. Ahhhhhh! Can I go back please???!!

It was a joy to spend the week with Mimi and Pop Pop! Such a sweet blessing that they shared the week with our crazy crew! Here are a few pictures from our final summer adventure along the beaches of 30A in Florida (I left my camera at home so I have limited pictures to share! Oh well…memories are better in the mind than what can be captured with a camera anyway!)

Hello Tropical Storm Lee....I've never seen such huge waves on the Gulf!!!

Thanks to Tropical Storm Lee our entertainment the first few days at the beach was jumping in puddles.

Happy Mama...

Daddy + Nash = silliness

We are not a photogenic family. I've accepted that.

Yep, that's more like it.

Meyer is always happy...well, almost always.

Meyer enjoyed the beach...and eating sand.

Pop Pop and Nash...

wind blown hair is a good look on Nash...

Our "jungle" walk to the beach...

She knows she's cool.

Another shot of Evyn's "scarf sari"...I think this look is so IN this season! (and the topless mermaid in the background should consider getting one herself! A little modesty miss mermaid!)
