Turtle Pond and Water Camera

Last night after dinner we headed out to the turtle pond to see the turtles. The girls wore their matchy matchy dresses because that makes Becky happy.


Kelly, wore her shirt that was matchy to the girls...

One of our favorite things to do on the beach is to dig a hole. The daddy's spend 15 minutes digging a big hole in front of our chairs and the kids spend hours playing in it and waiting for the tide to come crashing in. I don't have any good pics of the hole with the whole group in it- truth be told I have taken very few pics and these are from mostly Becky's camera. This was Justin's favorite passtime in the hole yesterday.

Becky has a way cool water camera. It is a digital camera that you can bring into the water. She reports it is hard to get the timing right on the pictures not only is there a delay but apparently when the photographer is nailed by a wave it can affect the composition of the picture. We uploaded the pics from this camera and the kids laughed hysterically looking at them tonight. Ok, the adults did too. Here are a few of my favorites.

Justin is FEARLESS in the waves. He jumps over them, he dives under them and sometimes he just throws himself into them to go through them. He does not care if he is tossed about, he does not care if he swallows gallons of sea water, he just comes up smiling every time.

The weather is not as hot as in the past. The waves are not as crazy, which is good since all 6 kids LOVE to go out as far as they can to jump them. We are hoping to be at the beach around high tide tomorrow so hopefully we will get some big waves. The women are winning just as many pitch/ set back games as the men. Matt will never get over losing his 4 bid when he had AKQJ of a suit. The kids are all WIPED out at the end of the day. Neil makes a mean margarita. Everyone is having a great time.
