Big Time Beachin It Part 3

It's always a lot of fun to look forward to the annual Anthony family beach trip.  There's much preparation as to location, house, date, packing list, agenda, etc.  The trip can be loud, children can squabble, there's lots of laundry and cleaning, waiting on people to get ready, sand in the bed sheets, giggles, and most of all a good time and memories being made.

No one likes the family beach picture night.  There's always grumbling about getting dressed up, smiling, posing, and such, but I am thankful to have these pictures every year.
 Annie 3, Bitty 6, Jack 7, Ford, 9, Caroline 10, and Molly Cate 12
 My crew wasn't feeling it, so we don't have a silly picture.
 It hurts my heart that Gran isn't in this picture....
 Another successful trip in the books!!!!!!

Big Time Beachin it Part 2

Kate got to play beauty shop quite often with all the girls' hair.  Unfortunately for Annie, I can't French braid!
 The newlyweds
 Alice and Bit
 Dirty feet contest
 My kids play hard all day, everyday.  One night Ford just couldn't hang any longer!
 We had a house with 6 bedrooms.  I was SURE my kids would beg and plead to sleep in the bunk room.  Ohhhh no!  They all demanded to sleep together.  That meant I had to push a set of twin beds together for the 3 amigos to snuggle up.
 One night we went to eat at The Bay.  It was very kid friendly, a great place for waiting, good atmosphere with a band, and the food was tasty. 
 Ford felt bad that night...
 Annie found a water faucet and well....she got wet!
 And you guessed it....she requested "The Wheels on the Bus" once again!
 Annie got an ear infection.  Ford got an ear infection.
 We went to the doctor
 I think we might be regulars there!
 When your ear hurts....

 Poor Case, they were making fun of him all night!
 Setting up at the beach isn't an easy task...
