Ladies' (and Babies') Beach Week!

Amazing spontaneous dance party when we arrived.


So happy for cousin time!!

Deh Deh loves Ro Ro!

Ill-advised climbing

Sand castle tutorial shortly after arrival


Penelope introduces William to her bunnies.

I read Penelope and William the new book she just gave him! It's shaped like a pilot!

Picnic table breakfast!

More dancing after we got on our official beach week t-shirts!

An attempt at a posed picture

The two toddlers







Penelope snuck her way into the couch cushions!

Quietly painting

William was a little nervous about the ocean, but Penelope confidently led us there.

The perfect ocean day! A separate little baby-pool portion with a sandbar buffer!

Rosie was in heaven!

So was Isabel!

And so were these guys!

Isabel makes a new friend on the beach!


Story time with Gam


Snuggle time with Gam! (And Baby [REDACTED]'s arm)


Swingin' on the porch

After "Deh Deh take a tumble in da big ocean"

Ready to be dazzled...

Story time with Isabel!

Isabel's such a good reader!

Isabel's love of French toast continues

As does Peppy's love of both French toast and wearing other people's flip-flops.

So delighted with his watermelon!

Peppy uses great focus and determination to transport tiny cups of water without spilling them.

Transfixed!

More water transportation (for her cooking projects, obviously).

The littles congregate.  As William eats, of course.

Pooooor sick Rose.

Yogurt-orange popsicle time!

Deh Deh starts to get the hang of things.



Everybody loves a yogurt-orange popsicle!

Tomfoolery in the swing



What, us? We weren't doing anything.

Photographer in training.

William stares pensively at the boats after Crab Shack dinner.

William and Penelope share a meal.

Playing with the [George]-in-the-box

Another popsicle!

So refreshing!

Baby pool time on the deck!

William plays with [the back of] Baby [[mostly REDACTED]'s head]


So fashionable!

William and Penelope start their goodbyes (to each other and to the ocean).  :(

Dynamic Duo!



Playing coy.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

And a kiss for good measure!

William eats his feelings partway down the road, in the form of a breakfast sandwich.
