Oh yeah we are at the beach AGAIN!!!

You seriously might want to go pop some popcorn and get your self a nice beverage before you start this one!!
The Davis Invasion! Not like any I have experienced before! Why? Because it included Jonathan, Justin and Grace. They have never been to our home before. Where we ready? Could we handle it? Did I own enough Tylenol!?! No need to fret because in all honesty this was a GREAT visit. Troy and the 3 youngest. Joshua stayed behind to help out Troy and Jason's Grandparents. But as we all know from last summer's post he has been to the ocean. These three are landlocked so it is time for them to see the coast!!
Jonathan had no concept of what he was about to see. He asked over and over about how big it was. I told him that the beach and ocean was bigger then any cornfield he was used to seeing. That kind of gave him a concept. I wasn't there when they officially saw the ocean for the first time. Jason and Troy took them. But these pictures are from Saturday. Hannah didn't come because she didn't want to deal with the sand. (Can you say teenager?) It kind of worked out better because without her we all fit into the van.
Justin!
The waves were pathetic! Bad for body boarding perfect if you just want to bob around in the ocean. Which I did and loved it!
Josie showing Grace how to pose like a surfer girl!

X marks the spot and Miss Josie B is getting ready to dig!!

I have no idea but Oh my Lord this picture of Jonathan makes me giggle every time!

Cameron in his Mom made tent! We had forgotten our umbrella!

Miss Josie digging with all her might!! Pay attention to the water line right behind her!

Yeah this is about 10 minutes later!! The tide swooped in fairly fast!! We had to move all of our stuff farther in land.

Poor Josie B. I think it's time to give up pretty girl!!

Action shot of Grace!

Jon looking naturally happy. He is a pretty serious kid so seeing him enjoy himself and being able to catch the moment is pretty dang cool!! BTW for you out there Troy. I love his 'heh' chuckle/laugh. It could not be anymore YOU!! :D



Now Justin is a natural happy go lucky kid! Easy to make smile and laugh. But I love the action and happiness in this picture!!

I feel like there should be 'Jaws' music along with Josie crawling behind the unsuspecting younger ones!!


Personally I can't think of a better more content way to enjoy the ocean!!

Now this is where the tide coming in made the beach uber cool!! Running along the shelf and crashing into the deeper hole that is there. I LOVE these shots!! Look at all their happy faces!! What a fabulous moment between cousins! Josh and Hannah where missed right now!


Gotta share more!



I tried to do the 'posed' shot at the end of our beach visit but I gave up fairly quickly. These are some tired water logged kids. No need to make them put up with me and my camera!!

We had a really really good visit with Troy and the kids. I know I fed them to much unhealthy food. They got to go to the beach. I let Troy actually use MY remote for the TV once or twice!! Painful but I think my Mother (and therapist) would be proud ;)
The week went by so fast and I am ready and willing for any other times they think they want to swing by!!

Looks like a good time was had by all! great pix, as usual!
is this the little girl that had one name and then her mom changed it? the one that was born about the same time as Mel? just trying to place them.
Ok, hope you are doing well!
Love LY
