Beach Season has begun. We got off to a slow start this year, and I blame Jonah. But thankfully he is a super cute and snuggly, so we can't be mad at him.
And what better way to kick things off than with a visit from the Aunt Theresa, Aunt Susanna, Will, and cousins Asher and Davis. My boys were just a wee bit excited to get to see their cousins (and aunts!) again....and to spend time with them at the beach. Little kid heaven!
Our family headed down early Saturday morning with the rest of the crew coming down as their flights arrived later that night. Eli and Jude got in a good beach day with the Miqueli's who were down for the day. We did a great job wearing them out and getting all of their crazies out as we waited for the others to arrive.

We had the boys all ready for bed, but let them stay up to greet Aunt T and their cousins. Asher was so cute loving on his newest cousin, Jonah for the first time.
It was a big sleepover party for the cousins each night...which of course meant they were up late every night and up early every morning. Who needs sleep when there are memories to make!?!
We definitely didn't notice a lack of sleep when it came to the amount of energy the boys had, so we ran them on the beach. No complaints from them. They had a blast, and overall....played really, really well together.
Though the littlest cousins didn't spend too much time in the sand, they still had fun and got lots of lovin'. Jonah had lots of arms to cuddle him. He loved meeting so many family members (....even though he felt the need to give us the finger...hilarious!)
Davis has grown up so much since the last time we saw him....he's 9 months old already! And what a cutie pie!! Such a happy baby who loves to play and loves his momma.
When not on the beach, the big boys were usually playing Legos or cars inside.
Since it isn't everyday that your family flies across the country to spend time at the beach, we decided to let Eli play hooky from school Monday and Tuesday. So worth it....even if we saw some sassy attitudes and a meltdown or two from each of the boys. Most of the time, it was heaven. You can't beat cousin fun.
Eli and Davis had a little love fest going on. E really does love little ones (....before they are big enough to bug him!)
As usual, the beach makes for the best naps. The harder they play....the better they nap.
Cousin time is truly priceless. Wish we could have it more often.
But we will cherish it while we do have it.
Thank you Aunt T, for flying solo across the country with your boys to come and play with us and to meet baby Jonah.
And though I know the boys loved playing together, the grown ups did too! Thank you, Aunt Susanna and Will, for making an even longer trip. It was so fun having so many of us at the beach together. Glad it worked out! I can't believe that we had 4 sisters together at the beach and didn't get a picture. That just means that Aunt Susanna and Aunt Theresa need to plan to come back soon....and bring Aunt Lindsey with you too. We are in desperate need of quality sissy time.
An amazing way to kick off the beach season.
Thanks again for coming!! We miss you all terribly already! LUB!
