Beach Vacation 2015

Prior to this summer, it had been four long years since we had taken a beach trip.  To say that my heart was longing for that salty ocean air, delicious seafood, and endless ocean views was a major understatement.  We were so excited that Justin's parents went with us on our vacation this year.  We had the best time with them and I know they loved getting to experience everything with the kids.  It was a trip that we will never forget.  




One of the things the kids were most excited about was building sandcastles.  I think they managed to build multiple ones, several times a day.  We borrowed other people's buckets to make ours bigger and better as the week went along.









Granna and Grandad are always up for a good time.  One of the many reasons our kids adore them.

Canaan had a bit of a love/hate relationship with the ocean.  He bit the dust a couple of times by some rather large waves and that made him scared.  We had to coax him back into the water after that.


I had been so excited for Canaan to just get to see the ocean for the first time ever.  I imagined what his sweet face would like when he saw the huge expanse before him.  I love watching him squish the wet sand between his fingers and toes.  Oh, those "firsts" with kids are priceless aren't they?


Hadley was a machine when it came to building the sandcastles.  She hauled dozens of buckets of water to try to make a moat around the castle.  She wasn't going down without a fight.


We had the most relaxing beach time ever.  I mentioned I had been longing for the beach for quite some time, and it far surpassed my expectations.  I think everyone just needs a little beach therapy from time to time.  I know this girl does.  Thankful to spend that time with people I love.
