Back from the Beach! --- Beach Post 1

We seriously had a great time at the beach! We went to Garden City Beach with Chad's parents and his sister and her family.

Here are our group shots taken right before we left. As luck would have it, the best one is blurry. :( But at least we captured that we were all there!

the blurry one - where everyone is, of course, looking at the camera smiling


We stayed in the perfect size house with a good layout for the 10 of us :)


Some things to remember....
1- Papa and Grandma decided that instead of eating out the whole time, we would cook 3 nights. We loved that idea. I doubt it saved a whole lot of money because PapaHub bought soooo much stuff. He really loves to go "pick things up at the store."

2- Charlee and Ashton were hysterical together. They definitely have a love/hate relationship. They act like siblings.

3- Chad is horrible at the card game "Bull S---" I had not played cards in so long. It was good to get all the kids in bed by 8 (even Charlee was in bed early-she is a night owl) so we could play "adult games."

4- I dont know how Grandma does not strangle PapaHub sometime. I love you Hub, but Patsy is sooo patient with you!

5- Hub really loves the color red.

6- Girl toys are cooler than boy toys... period.

7- The rocks right outside "our house" were perfect for pictures.... too bad taking pictures of 4 little ones is quite a challenge. See below.







*** More pictures to come... the beach posts will have to come in installments.

  1. Very precious kids! So glad that the Smiths were able to enjoy a week of "R and R!" The beach is always the perfect place to make that happen.
