"da beach!"

Del Mar was a blast again this year...
We have pretty much needed this whole week to recover from our annual beach vacation though. Feeding 13 people 3 meals a day, and making sure everyone is entertained and happy wears Grampa Al and I out just a bit. We wouldn't change it for anything though...except to have more of our family be there.
We share so many wonderful memories together. That's what it's all about isn't it?
I'm so grateful.




The Doney kids came and visited for the day. Yea!



Tiana, Caleb and Olivia's big sister, got to come to the beach with us too.
Can you believe she's 16!! It was wonderful to have her with us again.

Olivia and Kate were inseparable!


Jennie called today and said that Levi wanted to say their family prayer last night.
He said, "Bwess Batman and Bamawinda. Amen." He melts my heart.




Rachel came and spent the day with us. She lives about 15 minutes away.
Kaden said, "I know Rachel. She's #44... Awesome!"

Brett, Krista, Brandon and the kids got to come for a day too. Slade is so cute and she's getting so big!




What a great week... when do we get to go again?!
