Beach Blast!

We took a drive over to Freeport for a day of fun at the beach! We figured we would enjoy the water before the oil hit it. We turned out to have good timing as tar balls showed up on the beach the next Thursday. The topic of conversation was the oil spill and I think all of us adults were thankful for a beautiful beach. Hester, Winter, Justin, Wes, Kasey, Zac, Gracie and Wyatt joined us on our beach blanket. It was fun to swim, sift through the sand and bask in the sun with some of our favorite surfers! We arrived around 11 am and left around 1pm to get to Cassi and Travis's baby's shower. Us girls enjoyed seeing Cassi's round belly and eating all the good food as the topic of conversation switched to babies again! Meanwhile the guys were gearing up for an early Father's Day dinner for Ralph. We celebrated our woderful Father with sandwiches! We rubbed aloe on our sunburn and Wes rubbed calamine on his poison oak! Stopping by Grandpa Hoyt's house was fun on Sunday, but pictures were not taken unfortunately. Mom had had a long weekend working and tending to Grandpa and I think the sun had taken its toll on us fair Hollingtons! Mom fed us a nice meal and then let us pick veggies from her garden. I came home with cucumbers and squash-my favs!

Love my girl squinting her eyes in the sand with her super-cute hat and britches! Betsy, your captions are the greatest (love the one of Wyatt digging through the trash--sometimes it pays--LOL!). Everyone's "bud"...how clever! Looks like it's always a good time when the cousins get together and I can't believe how big everyone's getting!!
