CCP sports

 By the time we got home from the beach, the kid's activities were in full swing at the club.  This summer was Audrey's first year in Junior Golf. Carter moved up to the 4 hole boys group.
Carter walked on his own with the group he was assigned to since I can trust him to follow the rules.  I decided to walk with Audrey since it was her first year and knew she would need more guidance.
 It was also Audreys first year on the swim team. She got a little carried away with the body art at her first meet. Her back says, eat my bubbles. But she had fun and got a second and fourth place ribbon in her individual events.  Not bad for her first meet.
 They got the rest of their ribbons at practice,  Audrey's relay got first!

 Audrey lining up and doing backstroke.  She likes backstroke because she can breathe the entire time.
 Freestyle is his strongest stroke
Audrey is already pretty fast with her freestyle
A non-swim team victory for Audrey.  She has conquered her fear of the high dive!
He's still my bug boy
The kids also played tennis but I didn't get any pictures of it for some reason.

surgandsurf bonfire

 We decided to do something fun for the kiddos and had a bonfire on the beach.  We had a company set up the chairs and make the fire for us.  We just had to bring the supplies for the s'mores.
 We were able to snag some pictures before the roasting began.
 Our family in our happy place
 The dads and all 12 kiddos

 With pictures out of the way, it was time to make s'mores.
Love the setting sun in the background.
It really ended up being a fun activity for our group
My s'mores loving kids
 After getting all sticky they played in the water.  They thought it was pretty cool we let them get wet in their clothes.
 The firsts, seconds and thirds
 The boys looked so cute hanging out by the fire
 A bonfire on the beach at night is the perfect setting for ghost stories.  Lee really had their attention.

 She loves the beach!
 My 2 beach bums
 The boys went golfing one morning and the girls got to have a girls night out.
 The dads ordered pizza and took the kids for ice cream while the moms were out.
 The influence of friends got Audrey in the water this year.  She realized the ocean is a lot of fun.  She even got to see a bunch of fish and sting rays.
 building sand castles and destroying them
 The kiddos all fit at the large dinning table.  Meal time was always eventful.

 Love my kiddos
 Carter and Lee 3 were fishing buddies.  They spent so much time trying to catch fish with their nets.
 I love how well the kids played together.
