Surf 'n Sun, Family Fun.

So it's the first day of the family reunion at the beach, and Braden is already playing host.  He sat there for quite a while, waiting for these new "strangers" called family to walk by and offer them a snack.

 Nelson was just enjoying time on the warm sand.  Several times he buried his face in it and appeared to have fallen asleep.  It could have been a temper tantrum, I don't know.

 Michael.  How did he snag this awesome shovel?  The sand, the sun, the surf... this boy loved it all!

 Adelyn has really grown up this year.  I love how she just dove right in, and never whimpered about anything being too hard or too scary or too cold for her.  She's awesome!

 Joey.  Not into taking pictures.  At all.  At all.  However, if you have a video camera, watch out!  He loves to show off his jumping skills!

 We are so thankful to Aunt Rachel for taking the time to get a billion awesome pictures.  Adelyn loved the photo shoot!

This expression of Braden's is from Mike.  Both the boys have such fun and individual expressions.  The next two are some of my favorite Braden expressions.  Nelson has this super-alluring sideways glance that he gives to people in public places, and its hilarious!

 Nelson.  He must be crawling for his pink sippy cup in the background.  Are those hand-me-downs from Adelyn?  No.  I just bought a pink sippy cup.  I don't know what I was thinking, and I had it all the way out of the package before I said, duh, I have two boy babies.

Thanks to the family for such an awesome reunion!  We loved it!
