The Beach!

We all packed into the motorhome for the ride to the beach.

We finally get to the beach, and Payton enjoyed playing in the sand. He did not necessarily enjoy the water.....

The girls loved the sand..

And our set up was the most stylish on the beach

Andrew buried his legs....

And a wave caught him off guard...

Allen, Matt, and Andrew decide to go body boarding

But guess who I was able to capture actually riding a wave.......?

While Emily was out, Britt kept track of Lyndi, (with Taylor's help) who was not very accommodating.

But guess who perservered?

Emma slept through most of the day:

Payton and Lyndi played hide and seek...

And Payton started telling Lyndi what was up...

And everyone did their best to entertain the little ones

Rachael, Ashley and Melody arrived with Calvin, Michael, Madison, Alex, and Scarlett.

Calvin was delighted....

Observed what was going on

And started bossing Madison around (what is it with these male children?)

Madison unknowingly promptly smashed the painstaking work of Brianna and Keanna

Don't you wish you were this flexible?

Scarlet just kicking back

Austin keeping cool under the umbrella...

We gathered the Bettilyon grandchildren together for a shot-sorry it's unedited.

The sunset was beautiful, but I did not do it justice.
