Oceanside with Cluff Cousins

So blessed to be able to call this beach house home for a week!

It was gorgeous!

It was decorated so cute!

Yes that is the waves of the ocean right outside our door!  Can't go wrong with a place like this!  All I need to figure out now is how I can arrange to come here again and again!

I love remembering what yummy food we eat on trips!  Kind of weird of me huh?

These were painting in the restaurant, Breakfast Club Diner.....

This totally made me smile!

If I could choose one life I would like to try it would be living close to the beach and getting really good at surfing!

What would a beach trip be without getting buried in the sand right?

The waves were really tumbling the kids around and they loved it!

The kids had so much fun on a trip with cousins!  We are going to have to do this again for sure!

Bryn was so brave getting buried.  Grant loved it!

Tif and I were cracking up watching these boys get tumbled around by the waves.  Just when they thought they were clear another way would come and knock them down.  It was hilarious!

Love this picture!

Grant is a little stud!

This is honestly like 10 steps out of our rental.  I could get use to this!

Wow those are some sandy kids!

Bryn wanted to go get showered off.  Ummm no head for the ocean and get washed off first!

The kids all really played so well together.  It was great!

We stayed on Oceanside Beach.  This is the boardwalk with Rudy's dinner at the end.

Hunter made quite the sand fort! 

Love the Cluff out of seashells and the drip castles. Those are our favorite castle to make on the beach now! 

Hanging with this sweet girl makes me miss my Ella!  Glad my mom offered to keep Ella as a birthday present to me. But I did miss her tons! 

Love this sister in law of mine!  She makes me happy, happy, happy! 

One afternoon we rented a couple of these beach cruisers. 

Everyone enjoyed them. Nice photo bomb Tif!

These kids LOVED spending the week together! 

Ummm hello Tif and I couldn't just let the kids have all the fun!  Burning toes and hands won't keep me from playing. 

Mr. Grant pretty much fell in love with this sweet girl, Jordon. 

Kaley brought a friend, Jordan Hancock.  Grant seriously fell in love with her!  Jordan was super fun and sweet to the kids.

I think we are pretty fun momma's! 

The pier is gorgeous. Especially with this lady!  Loved our walks down the beach! 

The crew going to see a movie.  Actually half of us saw one movie and the others watched a different movie.  We are quite the crew!  The older kids and Tif and I all went to see Paper Towns. Kiersten and I had just read the book and we were so excited to see the movie. We were sadly disappointed in the movie. It was bad. 

The parks right on the beach always prove to be fun! 

I loved that every day the kids would crash from their beach fun!  Beach vacations are the best!! So grateful we could have this time with our Cluff cousins!  They are the best!  Wish the trip did not include a trip to the ER and a bottle of Valium. But I am grateful it was for me and not one of the kids. I felt bad that Justin had to fly out and drive us home. My hands just hurt too bad to grip a steering wheel for 8 1/2 hours. He insisted on coming out and I graciously agreed it would be best. Especially considering we had to stay in Phoenixe for a night to pick up our new exchange student from Germany. 

Over all it was a fun filled trip and adventurous as ever!!
