The Beach Yo!


Ben was in town this week!

Since it was the last week in June- we all headed out to crystal beach - in Southern Ontario, Canada.


All the kids had a blast at the beach- Ben brought his beautiful wife Joy and his two super cute kids- Hayden and Serenity-
Hayden is 6 and Serenity is 2. Hayden comes up to me and says- "Your baby is really cute. We wanted to have one, but instead we had Seri. Can we trade?" His mom said no- but I'm pretty sure he cornered me about 3 more times and was like "no seriously, we could trade!"








Dad even came up the first night and enjoyed all the festivities and stress- he didn't last long :(












Ella Loved the beach- even more then I thought she would. The sand was all over her and she didn't care- she loved knocking down all the sand castles and finding gross stuff to put in her mouth- wow did she take a good nap after each beach session.














Joe came and put up the big screen so that the kids could play Wii.
And Ella hung out too and like to wear Uncle Ben's hat.




















Ella and Nate had a few good walks in the Bob- its the only way to nap on the beach!





Ella and Joe got a good view of the surf the first night.
















Ella had to take baths in the sink at the cottage to get all the sand off her every night.







We took lots of walks down the beach.

















































There were many squirt gun wars- Uncle Jake is explaining that the table is "safe"- but you can't just sit on the table and squirt the other kids!













Ella crawled all around every inch of our cottage-she is playing peek-a-boo with the kitchen table.














Seri really had fun on our walks- she is showing me the waves.























I think all the kids were buried at least once-

























This is Ella's first sand castle- she had a ton of fun knocking it down.




































Poor Hayden.












































Seri got in on the fun.


















We had a really fun week- We are all missing Ben and his family already.














Yay for the Beach!
