sand creations.

do you remember my last post about the cermak vacation?

it was the day we took a break from the sun and headed to pensacola.

well, the day after that, we were back in the sun and at the beach.
it's hard to stay away long when you're on vacation.

pretty girls.

i'm a sucker for top knots/messy buns on little girls...it doesn't get much cuter.





ryan and ayden played a little football.

look at emery with no toys - the sand was honestly enough to keep her busy.
dusty made it to the beach with us on this day - always fun :)

and then dusty needed help, thank goodness lifeguard ayden came to the rescue.
you should have heard them laughing the whole time...

pretty sure they were both exhausted after this role playing.

abby wanted in on some of the action
so, she got to ride dusty the whale.

after a fun filled morning, we left our things on the beach and walked up to the hangout for lunch and some more relaxation.

 once a couple of drinks were consumed, lunch was eaten, ping pong and foosball were played, we were back at the beach.

sandcastle building time:

 ryan is the master of sandcastles.
he contributed much more than his helpers.
this day's final product:

i like the incorporation of the twigs...and the frisbee.
it really does make it complete.

ayden and dusty built these bad boys:

 you even get to see the behind the scenes action.
this structure is very fitting coming from dusty.

i loved this day at the beach...lots of fun :)
