Fourth of July at the Beach


For the fourth of July we took a little excursion to the beach. My family loves going out to Ocean Shores and spending time at the beach and flying kites. We met at a gas station that had an old phone booth minus the phone. My boys didn't even know what it was. Have you ever seen a Jackson booth?
I didn't take my camera out on the beach, so some of these are courtesy of my lovely sister Jillian.

sam fell in the hole : christopher's sly smirk as he watched sam fall
The beach was so busy and SOOOO windy that after Sam's fall we decided to take a break and walk into town. Dad convinced us that it wasn't that far of a distance, but he was wrong. It is ok, we all enjoyed the warmer breeze away from the water.

To take up some more time before watching fireworks we decided to explore the jetty. This was definitely more fun than sitting on the windy beach.



one jillian equals three full men


the boys climbed all the way to the end of the jetty

Great pictures of your family! We love Ocean Shores too, but haven't been in a while. Your little sister are becoming so becoming :).
