some teaser pics of our beach vacation(ammended to add captions):

Six adults, Twelve kids! We had a great time! More pictures later...time for bed right now!

Here are a few to prove that I wasn't lyin':

Filling a little inflatable wading pool with water. This is where they kept the fish and sea creatures that they caught. Angela's idea. They really worked at it all day.

Ivy lounging in the "swimming pool" they made out of seaweed. Lovely.

The final eight kids left at the beach. Plus parents (excluding me, the camera "man").
This was our last trip to the beach before the drive home. The kids really enjoyed riding in the back of Marie and Dayakar's pickup.

I think I need a whole separate post about this one....

A little blurry.

Volleyball at sunset.

Our Anniversary was that week. Thirteen years! Lucky Steve. :-)
And, Heather, that might be tan but it is more likely the effects of the sunset lighting and a rosy sunburn that you see. Haha!
