Another Beach Weekend

We got one last visit in at the beach and I think we've had our last swim this year, at least our last warm one. We might we get really brave when we go back for the big Thanksgiving family dinner but we'll see about that. I'll pack bathing suits, but no promises!


This was our last night at the cottage and the girls got dressed up so I could take some pictures and they had the time of their lives! It was close to sunset when we left and they were so excited to run down to the main beach, follow the paths in the grass and jump back out onto the sand. They kept talking about what an exciting adventure they were on.


Lovey came back and told Grampy it was the best cottage day EVER.



Auntie KK kept Heidi busy with Murphy's kong, it's the envy of all the dogs :)


The waves were a LOT of fun on our last day, the wind had picked up which made it a bit chilly but the extra surfing action was fun. Lovey isn't touching bottom in this shot, the wave lifted her right off her feet.


If that's not the embodiment of fun, I don't know what is!



Karen & I were in the water, bobbing around in the waves for almost 2 hours when finally the chill had worked all the way through.


Family photo op! Thanks Karen :)))










oh look! Us again! :)))


the sky was amazing and we're not usually there this time of year so it was weird to see the sun setting in the "wrong" place LOL
more racing, running & tearing across the sand



except for being a bit too bright, I love this shot with her dress in the breeze so very "childhood summer" ish.

when we got back I bribed them into a quick pj change by promising the ultimate treat, SPARKLERS!!!!!!! Nancy & Karen had a blast standing together and fusing theirs. I'd never seen such a boring display of firepower but the smile on Nancy's face is indisputable, they're having the time of their lives too!

The girls weren't having any of that and ran around waving theirs, drawing shapes, spinning and twirling. Although their display was a little more dynamic, it was definitely a LOT scarier!!! Luckily no one burned down a forest or impaled an eyeball!
