We set up the tent yesterday. Here are the kids having some fun in it.

Nana and Jackson are ready for a night in the tent tonight. Looks pretty comfy!
All snuggled up in their sleeping bags. Wonder if they're getting any sleep?!

An Evening on the Beach

Last year we started a yummy tradition of having s'mores on the beach. 

Mama and her favorite son.
Nana and her favorite grandson.

Hanging out on the dock.
Just look at this handsome boy! 
Shore kids.
Mama toasts some marshmallows.
Jackson gives it a try too. His s'mores have a special ingredient: a bit of sand.
Mmmm.
This was right before granddaddy's chair slid into the sand and these two went flying!
Uncle Bret is the master of the fire.
