Beach pictures

Although today is the first day of winter, it is 72 degrees outside, which reminded me that I was going to post beach pictures. :)
One of our family's favorite thing to do in the summer is to go to the beach. This year we went twice a week or more. Often we would meet friends there, and swim and run down the beach for hours. And of course a good tan never hurt either. :)

 

We all love boogie boarding, and we had many good days for it.

We were getting ready for a jumping picure, but this was so cute of Joshua. :) (second on the right)

Some of our friends live near a lake, so the next few pictures were taken there

Daniel, Ben, and Isaac at the lake

I stood in a boat nearby while taking pictures of everyone jumping off the diving board.

Tuck your head in, Daniel!

I love this picture, it looks like Ben is flying :)

This is watermellon we grew in our garden this year.

The pyramid crumbled right before Joy stood up, but it was fun anyway, despite the temporary pain. :)

Mostly a random picture of my friend, Olivia and I at a pool party this summer

We found this starfish washed up on the beach. After we all enjoyed looking at it, we put it back in, since it was alive

 

 

Hope ya'll enjoyed the pictures, and Merry Christmas!
