The Coast

We made our annual summer trek to the beach town of Seabrook with two other families.  With 13 people between our three families, there certainly was plenty of energy and excitement to go around (along with great food).

Rolling into the town center.


Putting on a dramatic performance at the play stage in town.  It clearly didn't matter that the audience consisted solely of their parents --  they went all out.


Adding scenes to the Gnome Forest.


A moment of pause.


The big kid bike pack.


Strolling the beach...

Ankle-wading in the ocean.


Ocean hugs.


Puddle jumper time in the pool.


The newly minted three year old!



Our windswept, salty six pack.




Letting loose at the beach.


Wave jumpers.




Bike trailer babes.

Zipping around town.


This guy learned how to ride a bike!  Whoohoo!

Double Digits

The bigs hit the double digits!  They celebrated with friends, family, cake, and a series of competitive laser tag games at a local park. The kids -- and some of the adults -- had a blast running around shooting one another, scooping out places to hide, and claiming a win or two.

Listening to the laser tag how-to's and rules.



J's off and running.


A moving in the opposite direction.


Armed and smiling.


Capture the Flag victory!


Cake time!


A birthday burger, fries, and shake lunch.


Enjoying round two of birthday sweets!
