Fun in the Sun

I had such a fun day on the beach with my family and three nieces and nephew. It was just one of those perfect days that I will always think back at as one of my favorite days of my entire life. There was a lot of running, jumping, smiling, and playing going on. I'm so thankful I brought my camera to capture these amazing kiddos.

These kids have a knack for huge smiles. They're just so full of love- such happy kids. They get really excited over the littlest of things. That's one reason why I enjoy being around them so much. They find so much joy in running through water, watching birds fly, and digging in the sand. I cherish every minute I have with them. 

Seining is something my father really enjoys doing; he's the dedicated one shoulder deep in the water in the photo below. You can catch shrimp and crab for a yummy feast, but unfortunately small fish also get caught in the net. I can't stand seeing them die before we can get them back to the water! I preoccupied myself with playing with the girls in the tide pool while a lot of the seining was taking place. But I do love this one I got of little John John helping out like a big boy :)

He does this face when you say, "I'm going to get you John John" 

Today, I'm full of love and thanks for the many blessings I have in my life. Money and things really are meager and meaningless compared to being blessed with such an amazing family :)
