First trip to the beach

Saturday afternoon we left the lake for a few hours and headed to the ocean for a party with the Doyles (Bobby's mom's side of the family).  We had a great time and the kids seemed to love the breeze, the sand and the sound of the waves.  It was a picture perfect day despite hurricane Earl's presence the day before.  Here are a few favorite photos from the day.

  Annie was so vocal - squealing and screeching all day

 This picture says it all!

 All smiles!
