We had an awesome trip to the East Coast. It was so much fun hanging out with Jer’s family and soaking up the sun rays on the beach. I have some more fun photos to share with you.

Here are some more of us the night we had a little photo shoot on the beach. I think beach pictures always turn out awesome. The back drop can’t be beat.

We set up a camera and used the timer to capture all of us. It was so funny trying to get all the kids to cooperate but we managed to get a couple good shots. Jeremy’s clan is really growing.

Leah is the 13th grandkid on this side of the family. Count them… That is a lot of little people! There are even 2 more on the way. Emma had so much fun with all of her cousins, especially the girls. We need more girls around.

While we were trying to capture the grandkid photo the tide came up high enough to wash grandma and grandpa away. It was such a hoot and I love their smiles and the way they are kicking up their feet.

Here is what Leah did for me most the time. The waves make perfect white noise for lulling her to sleep. What a dear little thing she is.

For some reason, the sand provides hours of entertainment for the little tikes. When they aren’t digging holes and looking for sea shell treasures, they like to go “jump the waves.”

I just love this photo of Jer and Isaac. Isaac is going through a stage where he just loves to play with his dad. I guess it’s because I’m always so occupied with Leah.

We did spend a day seeing some sites. Kitty Hawk is there on the island and we also drove down to Roanoke Island where the Lost Colony… was, well, lost. Isaac was a major grouch that day and wanted nothing but his mommy to hold him. In all that heat and humidity I had a hard time being patient but managed.

We had such a great time! There is nothing quite like the beach but it is always nice to return home. I missed my bed so much. I even missed the kids beds. It’s nice to have everyone back in their places.

On to the next adventure.
