Vacation: What we learned at the beach

Dear Sweet Boy,

You had the best time at the beach.

This week our friends invited us to share a beach house with them in South Carolina. As a kid I always remember learning a great deal about the members of my family when we vacationed. I was reminded of that this week when we did some learning.

#1 Babies and sunscreen make for hilarious photos

#2 Five kids can be super fun

#3 Neil loves the beach

(yes, that is sand around his mouth)

#4 He also digs the Ergo Baby Carrier.

#5 It is awesome to have chocolate chip cookies baked fresh each day.

#7 Daddy makes a great amusement park and Mama makes a great hammock buddy.

#8 Sharks are not scary when surrounded by kitsch.

#9 Babies love other babies.

#10 We have incredible friends.

We are blessed bees.
