Beach House - September 2012

We had another great Faria Beach vacation with Gramma Pam and Grant and Stacy.  In the past we've obviously flown out from MN for a week to join my mom at the beach, but this time we were able to do two long weekends and pop down in the middle of the week as well.  The weather was ridiculously perfect and hot and the big gathering with friends and family on one of the Saturdays was a blast.  Now, it's back to the real world, which isn't so bad, but boy....would we LOVE to live at the beach!

Beauty!

Back at home, Isla was deciding on her Halloween costume

Whoa!  Troll baby!

I know....our children LOVE to be naked.  We're OK with that...for now anyway

Naked cartoons?  Why not.

Bonfire time!

This is like the twilight zone to me...my kids and the kids of the friends Grant and I grew up with!
