Camping on the coast

July has flown by at the speed of light around here; I can't hardly remember a July that's been so busy! I have piles and piles of pictures to share of the month's fun, so let's get to it.

Toward the beginning of the month, we spent a few days with Caleb, Jen & their 3 kiddos camping at the beach. The sun was shining the whole time, the sand was warm on our toes, the ice cream cones were enormous, and we were a happy bunch. Please just pardon all of the water & sky pictures; I can't help myself :)

These are my favorite camping jeans ever; there will be weeping and wailing when I'm finally forced to retire them.

I turned around and Ocean (Ocean at the ocean, ha!) scared me half to death with this get-up. Kids these days... :)

Expert sandcastle builders, these 5! 

Espresso on the bottom, mountain blackberry on the top, oh my!

This is a completely unhealthy way to think and I know it, but I feel like summer isn't quite complete without one good sunburn. Check for Jan Michael!
