On our last evening at the beach, we went down to the shore to take some family photos! Zac & Stephanie had already left, but we took some of the rest of us. 🙂
Jed, Angela, and Drew
Dad & Mom
me, Cordelia, Tad, and Vera
Thankful for these sweet pictures to remember our week by!
This concludes our beach trip recap!
Tad’s parents (known to our girls as Grandanny and Grammy) did a book night as their theme night for the beach! There were well-loved books everywhere!
The food was all themed around various books.
“Some Pig” (bacon) topped salad
Templeton’s Platter was quite creative!
Bread and honey from the Beavers’ house in Narnia
Talking beast/non-talking beast (also Narnia)
Green eggs and ham
Jack’s magic beans
We had a reminder about manners
The kids’ table
Table settings
My yummy plate of food!
Grandanny and Grammy were Oompa Loompas!
The Willy Wonka chocolate fountain was EXTREMELY popular!
We all made “book-themed” t-shirts.

If you give a mouse a cookie…
We were all impressed by Grandanny and Grammy’s creativity! It was such a fun night for the kids!
At the beach for our County Fair Night (part 1 and part 2), we had a photo booth for preserving fun family memories!
I provided lots of fun props.
I love how all the photos turned out!
We also had a bubble-gum blowing contest!
Tad tried his best
Cordelia tried too!
Grammy gave us her best shot!
But Angela beat us all!!
For our final activity, we did sack races!
Haley was the champion!
But Grammy gave it a good effort too,
as did Tad!
We certainly will remember our Night at the County Fair for a long time!
