water and sand, part 1

So I lied.

New computer most certainly does NOT equal 'back to blogging'.

I blame it on the frustration caused by trying to use this uppity machine, the fact that it's a desktop and NOT a mobile laptop, and also...it's summer.

Speaking of summer, after SIX years of no beach vacations due to one reason or another, we've been twice in the past 4 weeks. It was gorgeous, hot, relaxing, hot, and good golly did we have fun in the sun. Plus, it was really hot. I have the tan lines to prove it. I thought I'd share a few pics from each trip- and many, many thanks to hubs parents and Laura, and my aunt and uncle who made these trips possible. We love you more than bacon.

June 13-16, Orange Beach

 This was the girl's first glimpse of the ocean. We brought O when he was 2, but I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say he probably doesn't remember much of that trip. 

Mawmaw and the girls

 

 In no time at all, O threw his shirt off & was underwater...

 Sand angels!

 Hubs makes the best drizzle castles. Period.

 That's our best attempt at a family photo. Three out of 5 smiling and somewhat looking at the camera is a success in my book. And yes, I do have a white stripe running down my arm. So glad that craziness faded QUICKLY.

    
Part 2 of water and sand coming soon.

I hope you all are enjoying your summer!
