Every summer, for most of my existence, my family, along with the good ol' Malan fam, has camped for a week at the beach. Seriously. My whole life. I have many fond memories of the beach with the Malan's...pinochle, body surfing, checking out boys (one of my favorite/traumatizing, was when I was about 8, and Katie Malan thought it would be funny to take my bathing suit top off when I was in the water. Good times man, good times. I freakin' love that gal.). Anyways, since we were unable to camp last year due to newborn twins and a family reunion, this is the first of many years for this tradition to live on. With lots of kids running around and making friends with the new generation of Malan's. . Sunny, Jake's mom, also made the trek from Texas to join us for the week. She hates camping, but was a good sport about it. She loves her some grand babies though. And they love their Gram-gram. Good times had by all.

| Hazel LOVES the beach. LOVES it. I can't stress that enough. |

| What's not to love about 2 babies playing in a ditch? |
 |
| Hazel and Shiloh Malan. They are pretty close in age. And cuteness. |

| Zeke and his shovel. He would drag it around all day. |

| She loves her dollies. She fell asleep with them both on her face. |

First, let me say that I have no recollection of disrobing you in the ocean. (sounds just like me however). I apologize for the trauma.
ReplyDeleteSecond, it's frightening that I have trained Jenna to pose whenever a camera is within sight! That's my girl.
