A couple weeks ago, we spent a week at Atlantic Beach in NC with the Ruble family and aunts, uncles and cousins, spread out among three beach houses. It was a gorgeous, sandy, sunny, family-filled week of fun!
Take 2 of an orchestrated family picture. Everyone looking at the camera with eyes open = success!
Micah proposed to Alli at the beach, adding an extra-special memory to the week. 
As long as he was holding someone's hands, T loved standing in the waves.
He really loved swinging between us on evening walks!
Lots of playing in the sand
Boys in the hammock
Chocolate eclair cake...yum!!!
The youngest generation is now eight strong, with the three babies (Emma, Lauren, and Thomas) each a month apart.
A family tradition...the ladies buy beach shirts in a rainbow of colors

Each night one family cooked for all three houses. On our night, Jack did a low country boil: shrimp, kielbasa, corn and potatoes boiled with spices and dumped out on the tables for utensil-free eating. Check out all that food!
No plates, either...just grab from the tray and eat.
In the evenings, we took the boogie boards out to tide pools and played. Thomas loved being pulled on a boogie board. I think he's ready for tubing!
Corban (above) and Jakin (below) both did some impressive boogie boarding. My attempt (not shown here) was less graceful.
T riding on Annie's back. He loved this; she thought he was heavy!
Vacation also means a break from the rules...so you see Thomas standing on the windowsill behind the couch, pounding on the glass and yelling...just for fun. This does not fly at home!
