Beach Barbecue

We were so excited to have our friends Marc, Laura Lee and Addie up from Columbus on Saturday! They helped us celebrate Brynlee's birthday and then we went to the beach with a big group of friends to barbecue and play! First thing the kids did was run down near the water and start playing in the sand. Gracen quite enjoyed himself, so much that he decided to go IN the water! Nate wasn't watching too closely and Gracen just walked right in...shoes, socks, pants, all wet (just halfway up the calf)! He didn't mind, we just had to watch a little more closely!

I think Gracen could live at the beach with all that sand to play in. He had it coming out his pockets, caked onto his head, smeared on his face...you name it, there was probably sand there!

After dinner and hanging out, chatting, and letting the kids play we packed up and went back home. We gave Brynlee, Gracen and Addie a bath together, and after Gracen the tub was so full of sand we had to drain, rinse and refill the tub so the girls could clean up! I think the girls combined only had half the amount of sand as Gracen did! He sure knows how to have fun at the beach!

It was so good to have the chance to see our friends, it made me miss the good old days when we lived a couple doors down! Thanks for coming up to visit, it was good to see you guys!
