We miss the beach!!









All this time he spent at beach houses this summer has really turned Camden into a beach bum! We're now back from Ponte Vedra/St. Augustine beach where Gramps and Nanna treated the entire family (and then some!) to a fun-filled week at a fabulous beach house. In addition to hanging out with his cousins and aunts and uncles, Camden met some more of his wonderful family: Sharon, Dave, Alyssa, Julie, Christy (and her boyfriend Adam...I mean, Andy!), Andrew, Ricky, Nicky and his favorite, Maggie). We put aside our diets and took turns cooking. We soaked up the sun and some of us got a little too much of it (Kevin). We also collected treasures from the sea and had 2 seperate competitions: Joani won the shark teeth competition and I won for starfish(Kevin wants me to mention that he found the largest shark's tooth). Some more adventurous folks tried to surf and even got up on the board a few times. If you ask Camden, though, he'll tell you his favorite was taking naps on the beach! Time flew by and we couldn't be more grateful to Gramps and Nanna for making it happen. Love ya

Nana says how do I get to leave a comment...
Sharon and Dave were donors to the big house also and we thank them and everyone for coming. Family getting together is what it is all about. I hope Nicky and Maggie will keep in touch. Does anyone know their email addresses???
Miss everyone. Love to all.

Looks like you all had fun! The beach shot of Jim and Maddie is beautiful. -- We get to see Camden again on August 4,5, and early 6 (as planned now)-- its all about him, you know! He's growing so much. I could just squeeze him.

Love, Grandma Mona
